Seeker Overlay ON
*
Christ is God and by his own power he has given us everything that we need to live and to please God .
He has given this to us because we know him ,
and he has called us because he is great and good .
*
Because of these things ,
he has promised us things that are worth very much and are very great .
He has promised these things to us so that by them you may become like God too .
By them you will be kept free from the selfish desires of the people in the world .
These desires lead to death .
*
So now you believe ,
try to live a good life .
When you live a good life ,
try to learn more about God .
*
When you have learned more ,
be strong to do what is right .
Then go on doing what is right ,
even if it is hard .
As you go about doing right ,
keep close to God .
*
As you keep close to God ,
love your Christian brothers .
When you love your Christian brothers ,
love everyone !
*
If you do these things and you do them more and more ,
you will be good Christians and you will know more and more about our Lord Jesus Christ .
*
But the man who does not do these things is like a blind man .
He can see only a little way .
He has forgotten that he was made clean from the wrong things he used to do .
*
So my brothers ,
try to show that God has called you and chosen you .
If you do these things ,
you will never fall .
*
That will make it easy for you to go into the kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ .
His kingdom will be for ever .
