100 REASONS TO LOVE GOD

People will tell you why they love chocolate, or why they love cheese or why they love shopping. Some love certain activities and many are just in love with themselves. We talk of material things because we have an interest in them. Some talk of their friends because they love them; their joys and their sorrows, their memories and sometimes significant life experiences are bound up with them. Their is a closeness they feel towards them.

(Matthew 22:37) 

If you have not done so already

 or if you have backslidden toward the world and are now worldly...

you can have a new beginning with Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of your life right now.

Pray like this - Father in heaven, I am a sinner and I believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross to pay the penalty for my sins. I accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior right now and I ask you to give me a new heart. New motives, new desires and new purposes that will be in harmony with your law of 10 commandments. I thank you and praise you for the forgiveness of my sins and for causing me to be born again right now, In Jesus, name, amen.
