Forgiveness and cleansing from sinGod is faithful to forgive our past sins and cleanse us so we no longer need to live in guilt and fear.

Saved from the power of sinJesus saves His people from their sins, breaking the chains so sin no longer rules over us.

Knowing Jesus as a personWe must move beyond just thinking about what Jesus has done for us to wanting to know Jesus Himself and His heart.

Contentment and the love of moneyThe promise that God will never leave us is tied to keeping our character free from the love of money and being content with what we have.
