Change Your Mind
19 Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord, Acts 3:19
Repent,
means to change one's mind. Which in turn changes one’s actions. If you
do not repent you cannot have your sins forgiven nor receive times of
refreshing from the Lord.

Unsurpassed Value
Something to think about.
Unsurpassed Value
8 Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ. Philippians 3:8
The
world does not possess anything of sufficient value to replace Christ.
All the riches of the world do not achieve any value before the
knowledge of Christ. He is simply worth so much more.

A New Life
Something to Think about.
A New Life
3 For we ourselves
were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions
and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by others and
hating one another. 4 But when the goodness and loving kindness of God
our Savior appeared, 5 he saved us, not because of works done by us in
righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of
regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, 6 whom he poured out on us
richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that being justified by his
grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
Titus 3:3-7 (ESV)
In spite of us, God, out of His desire,
love, mercy and grace has regenerated and renewed us by the holy spirit
through Christ onto eternal life. This regeneration, renewal is
available to those of us who accept His call.

Emulate
Something to think about
Emulate
So the chief priests
made plans to kill Lazarus as well, 11 for on account of him many of the
Jews were going over to Jesus and believing in him. John 12:10-11
I
can’t be like Christ; I can't raise people from the dead, I can’t offer
a sacrifice that will make atonement for their sin, I can’t save them, I
can't give them eternal life, I can't forgive their sins.
I can be like Lazarus; I can be a living testimony of what He has done in my Life.

Living and Active
Something to think about.
Living and Active
12 For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. Hebrews 4:12 (ESV)
The word of God is not antiquated, old, out of touch or irrelevant. It discloses the intent of the heart. It identifies and convicts man of his sin, and it will live forever.

The Gift of God
Something to think about.
The Gift of God
And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 1 John 5:11 (ESV)
For those of us who believe this is our reality, eternal life that can only be found in Jesus.

Jesus Prayed
Something to think about.
Jesus Prayed
9 I pray
for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given
me, for they are yours. 20 “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also
for those who will believe in me through their message, 21 that all of
them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. John 17; 9,20-21
Jesus
is not making an all inclusive prayer; He is praying specifically for
us who believe in Him. Over two thousand years ago He prayed for you and
me to be one in Him that we may be His living testimony to the world.
