Message

Like a sweet perfume that scents the air around it, the Holy Scriptures produce special aroma in the lives of those who know it. Wherever you find people who truly know the Holy Scriptures, you will observe holiness in their words and characters because the Word of God is pure and holy. The common mark among those who have truly known the Holy Scriptures is that they love God and do what is right before Him always. Timothy started learning the Holy Scriptures when he was a child. They made him wise unto salvation and kept him holy in his walk with God.

Do you know the Holy Scriptures? When the content of the Holy Scriptures enter into your heart, it will make you wise unto salvation and keep you holy in all your actions. Do you have a Bible? Make it a point of duty to always listen to and read from the ancient Word. It will change you from a bad child to a righteous boy or girl. Then you will show forth good works of holy living wherever you go.

GOSPEL REALM: STEPS TO SALVATION
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
