THE GOOD NEWS OF JESUS IS FOR BOTH - THE BODY AND THE SOUL

Jesus announced his kingdom with preaching and healing. The salvation he offers is both for the soul and the body. Any teaching that emphasizes soul at the expense of body or body at the expense of soul is in danger of distorting Jesus Good News.

GOD...GRACE...YOU

Prove yourself. In today's world, that's what you constantly feel you have to do, right? On the job, among friends, even at home you're always working to win the approval you need. Working to convince those around you that you deserve the salary, the friendship, and even the love they give you.

Is there any escape?

You better believe there is! It's called grace. Unearned and undeserved favor and acceptance. And there's only one place you can find it--in the heart of God Himself.

God hasn't based His relationship with you on your worthiness. He's based it on His love for you. You don't have to struggle to prove yourself to Him. As far as He's concerned, you're a proven success.

BEING EFFECTIVE AND PRODUCTIVE

For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ  - 2 Peter 1:5-8
