The document discusses the path to heaven and eternal life according to God's word. It explains that eternal life is a gift from God through faith in Jesus Christ, who died for our sins. While good works, sincerity, and following religious rules cannot save us, we can receive eternal life by acknowledging our sin, believing in Jesus as the Son of God who died and rose for our salvation, and surrendering our lives to him in prayer. The document encourages responding to God's offer of salvation through faith in Jesus.

Tithing and offerings are two interesting subjects, which many people have different meanings and applications. While tithing and offering are certainly biblical concepts, some people teaches that tithe is a command and offering is a sacrificial ‘will’ of a Christian; some also teaches that these are not so. What does the Bible teaches regarding tithing and offerings under the New Covenant?
In order to understand how tithing fits (or doesn't fit) into the life of a Christian or a religious person, we must first examine tithing as it was originally commanded, its meaning, and its purpose. Offerings which sometimes interchangeably defined to be tithes; one needs to understand the meaning of sacrifice, free will, giving, and sharing.
This book explains in detail: the doctrines, the command, the culture, the principles, and giving of tithes and offerings. It also outlines the most frequently asked questions on tithing, offerings, and giving.

This is the four spiritual laws presentation. Just as there are physical laws that govern the whole universe. There are also spiritual laws that govern your relationship with God.
Many people think they will go to heaven because they have lived a good life. Perhaps, they treat all of their neighbors fairly. Maybe they volunteer for charity work and have never broken the law. Maybe they were even baptized or go to church regularly. But the Bible, God's Word, says that no one can live up to God's standard of righteousness.
This Roman Road as laid out in scripture is God’s plan of salvation set forth in Paul’s letter to the Romans. The following scriptures build a beautiful road to Jesus Christ.
How to Know God Personally?
What does it take to begin a relationship with God? Devote yourself to unselfish religious deeds? Become a better person so that God will accept you?
You may be surprised that none of those things will work. But God has made it very clear in the Bible how we can know Him.
The following principles will explain how you can personally begin a relationship with God, right now, through Jesus Christ...
According to the Bible, the key issue facing mankind is sin (i.e. missing the mark that God has set for us). This presentation outlines how mankind lost its way from the original creation, the consequences of sin (the worst consequence being the separation from God) and God's salvation plan (through which God reconciles mankind to Himself through the full and final work of Jesus on the Cross). This salvation is free. But missing this could cost you etern

Renewed in Grace
The Book of Joshua is the sixth book in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, and is the first book of the Deuteronomistic history, the story of Israel from the conquest of Canaan to the Babylonian exile.
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

God's Way to Heaven - From CCF
1. GOD’S WAY TO HEAVEN Can we ask you a couple of questions? How can a person gain eternal life? How can one go to Heaven? eternal life Heaven
2.
3.
4. Some believe that the path to heaven is a cosmic scale. Enough good works , like acts of human kindness or charity, can outweigh the bad we have done in our lives, right?
5. Enough good works , like acts of human kindness or charity, can outweigh the bad we have done in our lives, right? But just how much good work is enough to get to heaven? Is there any guarantee? ? Click here to continue.
6. To some people, there might be degrees of sin, from slight to severe. But in God’s eyes, a sin . . . is a sin. You see: God sees: I know you (God) get no pleasure from wickedness and cannot tolerate the slightest sin . Psalm 5:4 (Living)
7. Even if you are able to fulfill most of God’s Laws Click here to continue. For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it. James 2:10 but falter in one, God’s Word says you are still guilty of breaking all! just one point
8. Of all the world’s religions, how do you kno w which is the right one? Some believe that after you die, you have to wait in a place of cleans ing before you can enter Heaven. Others think that reincarnation is the cleansing path. What if you were reborn a snail? Edward Cole in ‘The Bucket List’ asks, ‘What would a snail have to do to move up? Lay down a perfect trail of slime?’ You get no guarantees from religion. Click here to continue.
9. So many people today are sincere about what they believe regarding Heaven. What if they are sincerely wrong? What if YOU are sincerely wrong? How can you be sure? Click here to continue.
10. God’s Word makes it clear that none of these things can give us eternal life. Not good works Not the Ten Commandments Not Religion Not just Sincerity. So what do we have to do to get eternal life? There are . . .
11. Click here to continue. FOUR TRUTHS to understand about ETERNAL LIFE
12. GOD’S LOVE AND PLAN God loves you and wants to give you eternal life. 1 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life . John 3:16 eternal life
13. Do you have a son or daughter? Can you imagine giving him or her up for the life of another? God’s love is so great that he gave Jesus, his one and only son, to die for us so that we can have eternal life. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life . John 3:16 eternal life
14. Now, God’s plan didn’t just end with giving us eternal life. He wants our lives to be exciting and full of meaning. Click here to continue. But, what keeps us from experiencing the full life God intends? I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. John 10:10b
15. MAN’S PROBLEM Our problem lies in our sinfulness. God is holy and cannot tolerate sin. 2
16. God created humanity to be with him and to enjoy his presence. Only because man willfully disobeyed him did sin enter the world and separate us from God.
17. God’s Word tells us that all of us have sinned. Our sinful desires and thoughts put us in no position to please God, because God hates sin. For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23 all
18. What is the cost of sin? It’s a penalty we cannot escape. The wages of sin is death. Romans 6:23 death
20. In God’s word ‘Death’ denotes a separation from something. In this instance it means a separation from God. GOD sin death
21. What if we take one of these roses and put it in water? Is it alive, or dead? Give it more time, and it will look like this. A rose cut off from its plant is dead because it’s apart from its life source. We are like that rose, because sin cuts us off from God.
22. sin death second death But the ultimate consequence of sin is a fate which God’s Word calls “the second death” Based on this list, there are no ‘safe’ sins. GOD But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic, the idolaters, and all liars – their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur . This is the second death . Revelation 21:8 all liars second death
23. Is there any hope for mankind? How can we bridge this gap? Click here to continue. Even though we deserve death, God has given us a way out.
24. Jesus Christ is the only answer to humanity’s problem. GOD’S SOLUTION 3 He said that he is the way – not a way, but THE way . Jesus answered, “ I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6
25. He personally carried our sins in his body on the cross so that we can be dead to sin and live for what is right. By his wounds you are healed. Romans 6:23
26. sin death eternal life second death Jesus Christ paid the penalty for sin on the cross. Through him, the gap is finally bridged. GOD
27. What guarantee do we have that we are on the right track? That Jesus is the way? When he died, he didn’t stay dead. He rose after three days. This proves that he was the powerful Son of God. “ ... he was buried, ... he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures…. After that, he appeared to more than 500 of the brothers at the same time…. 1 Corinthians 15:4-6 He was shown to be the Son of God when he was raised from the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit. He is Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:23 raised on the third day than 500 he appeared to more shown to be the Son of God
28. MAN’S RESPONSE Just knowing these truths is not enough. We need to respond personally to God’s offer of salvation through Jesus Christ. How? Click here to continue. 4
29. God’s Word says that salvation is a gift of God and not a result of human works. Not by religion or by sincerity or by obeying laws – it is available only by God’s grace. It is something we do not deserve and cannot earn. It is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast. Ephesians 2:8-9
30. sin death second death How do you respond to this gift? faith GOD
31. We must respond in faith. Faith simply means believing God’s Word and that he will do exactly as he said he would. This includes the need to acknowledge our sins before him, because true faith involves turning away from what displeases him. It means surrendering our lives to God.
32. Jesus said, If you and I ask him to come into our lives, he will give us eternal life. Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him. Revelation 3:20 I will come in to him.
33. You can receive Christ right now by simply going to God in prayer. Just talk to him. You might not know the words to say, but he looks deep into your heart to see what you are trying to tell him. You can pray something like this. Click here to continue. Lord Jesus, I am sorry for my sins. Thank you for dying for me on the cross. With your help, I will turn away from my sins. Today I am putting my trust in you as my Lord and Savior and I receive you into my heart. Thank you for forgiving my sins and coming into my life. I accept your free gift of eternal life. Thank you that one day I will be with you in heaven. From this day on, I will follow and obey you. Amen.
34. If you prayed that prayer, congratulations. What’s happened to you? To all who received him , to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God . John 1:12
35. Because you have accepted Jesus the Son of God, God’s word declares that you have eternal life. This is what God has testified: he has given us eternal life , and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life ; whoever does not have God’s Son does not have life. I have written this to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know you have eternal life. 1 John 5:11-13 he has given us eternal life , Whoever has the Son has life ;
36. We’d love to get to know you. We want to help you learn more about God and his gift of life. We can also clarify things regarding this life-changing decision. Visit us at www.ccf.org.ph . Or, come attend a worship service on Sunday and meet people who have decided to follow Jesus Christ. God bless you, and have a good day.
