IN

When we are saved, we are IN Christ Jesus.  He is Lord and Savior.  He paid the price for our redemption and salvation.  We belong to Him.  We have been bought with a price.  Jesus Christ is our salvation, our focus and our Lord.  He provides everything we need for an eternal relationship with Him.

FORWARD

Life is for living.  We live in Christ our Lord and Savior, and we keep our eyes on Him.  He guides through each day.  He equips us to deal with failure and not be overrun.  Continue in Jesus.  One day you will see Him face to face.  Praise the Lord from whom all blessings flow.  Jesus is Lord.
