He is the only way to the Father.
Jesus is truly Lord.

FAITHFULLY
We are to faithfully follow Jesus.

Do what the Word says.
Be usable and teachable.
Jesus will live in you and through you.
Trust in the Lord.

We choose where we will go.
To eternal perdition, eternally separated from the Lord.
To eternal membership in God’s family.
Our choice.
Choose Jesus. He is Lord.
