Few people understand very much of Develop Relationships

In a similar way, our culture has
made the biblical role of parents
difficult to define. We must return to
Scripture to understand God’s design
for the home.
Parents first have the role of
authority. God has placed them in the
front seat to steer the home and
direct the hearts of their children.
Wise vehicle owners maintain their

Likewise, wise parents give careful
attention to aligning their hearts to
their children’s hearts by purposefully
nurturing close relationships.
Relationships are strengthened by
involvement. Do things together. Have
fun as a family.

Where Will I Spend Eternity? Your relationship to

Jesus Christ is central to the answer to that question.
Our Dilemma:
We are, by nature, sinners who stand guilty and condemned before our Creator and Judge. In our
thoughts and actions, we have disobeyed His perfect standards. We are sinners (Romans 3:10, 23).
Our Inability:
We are helpless to save ourselves. Forgiveness is a gift to be received, not a reward that can be earned.
We need a Saviour (Ephesians 2:8-9).
Our Saviour:
Because of His love for us, God provided salvation through His Son, Jesus. He became a member of the
human family, lived without sin, and died on the cross to pay for our sins. Jesus is the Saviour (Romans
5:8; John 3:16).
Our Response:
Salvation is an individual matter and requires a personal response on the part of anyone that wants to be
saved. All who acknowledge their sin and place their trust in Christ are adopted as God’s children
(Romans 10:9, 13).
