As Christians, we have a similar responsibility to obey our Heavenly Father. After our spiritual rebirth and adoption into God’s family (John 3:3; Romans 8:14-17), it becomes our life’s work to live in a manner consistent with His priorities and commands.
You and I are privileged to stand on the cresting waves of prophecy—to live in a time closer to the return of Jesus Christ than any other generation in the history of the world.
