Welcome to the Kingdom of God!
You are now God's
Child if this is what you have done -
If You said the sinner's prayer, something like this.
Lord, I know that I cannot get to heaven on my own. I know that my sin
separates me from You, a Holy God. God, I know that you love me. I know that
Jesus Christ took the penalty for my sins on His cross. I ask that you place all
of my sins on the cross of Jesus Christ, taking the punishment that I deserve.
Please fill me with Your Holy Spirit that I would live for you for the rest of
my life. Please teach me, guide me, show me and grow me according to Your Word
for your glory, purpose and delight. Thank you for making me your child!! I love
you! Praise be to the Lord Jesus Christ! Amen.

Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God
through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into
this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of
God. … because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit,
whom he has given us. You see, at just the right time, when we were still
powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a
righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God
demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ
died for us. Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall
we be saved from God's wrath through him! Romans 5:1-21

His glory alone!!)
- If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness.
2Cor 11:30 (Therefore God will seem all the bigger, for mighty things He has
and only He can do!!)
- But He (God) said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my
power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more
gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. 2Cor 12:9
- May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through
which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. Gal 6:14
