This document discusses that all money and wealth ultimately belongs to God, not humans. It provides several biblical examples to support this, such as Deuteronomy 8:17-18 which says it is God who gives people the power to obtain wealth. The document urges readers to acknowledge God as the true owner of all things and to be good stewards of the blessings God provides, using money to glorify God rather than becoming deceived by the love of money. It concludes by inviting readers to come to Jesus by believing, repenting of sins, confessing faith, and being baptized to attain spiritual blessings.
This document discusses biblical principles of giving based on several passages. It makes the following key points:
1. The Bible discusses money and giving more than many other topics, showing it is an important issue.
2. All money belongs to God and we are merely stewards of what He provides. We should not forget that our prosperity ultimately comes from God, not just our own efforts.
3. The standard of giving discussed in the Bible is at least 10% of one's income given back to God. Giving is an act of worship and obedience to God.
Kindness is a defining characteristic emphasized repeatedly in Titus. While people may profess to know God, their lack of good deeds denies Him. Believers are called to be examples of good deeds. God redeems people from lawless deeds and purifies them so they are zealous for good works. Believers must learn to do good deeds to meet needs of others. They are to be obedient and ready for every good deed, peaceful and gentle. Kindness begins with God and His kindness and love for mankind. Jesus showed kindness by washing feet, and calls others to do the same. Believers should be kindhearted and not return evil for evil. Their kindness encourages others and causes the world to glorify

It identifies several Grace Suckers, including sin, regrets, pride, and various lusts. It encourages getting rid of these Grace Suckers so one can fully enjoy and accept God's forgiveness and favor.
This document discusses biblical perspectives on wealth, finances, and stewardship. It notes that God owns everything and we are called to manage wealth wisely.

It also discusses how faith brings hope through believing in Christ and the promises of salvation, forgiveness of sins, resurrection, and heaven.

The document discusses tithing and giving to the church. It provides biblical references that talk about giving a tenth of what one produces or owns to God. It also discusses passages in 2 Corinthians that encourage believers to give generously from what they have been given. The document emphasizes that tithing is about commitment to God's mission rather than personal finances or circumstances. It concludes by stating the vision for Black Forest Chapel is to worship and proclaim Christ to the community through preaching, worship, fellowship, and witness.
The document discusses bitterness and how to forgive others. It notes that God expects us to forgive as He forgives us. Staying angry and bitter can lead to hatred, worry, and guilt. To forgive, one should remember that forgiveness means erasing debts, pray for those who wronged you by name, and seek reconciliation by erasing "chalklines". The passage encourages lifting drooping hands and strengthening weak knees to obtain grace and prevent bitterness from springing up and causing trouble.
The document discusses perspectives on money and prosperity from a biblical viewpoint. It addresses three main questions: 1) How to understand prosperity in light of passages seemingly against wealth. It argues prosperity is good, but material wealth should not be loved above God. 2) Whether maximizing financial giving always best serves others, concluding other actions like time can also serve. 3) Whether spending can glorify God as well as giving. It argues all actions, including commerce, can imitate God if done with integrity, fairness and voluntary exchange. The document encourages creativity, competence and boldness in serving the global poor through understanding economics and pioneering new models.
This document discusses biblical principles of giving, including that giving is frequently discussed in the Bible, giving makes one happy, and giving is essential to salvation. It notes that everything belongs to God and there is no record of God accepting less than 10% from followers. The document also discusses the blessings of scriptural giving according to various Bible verses and the curse of unscriptural giving. It outlines God's dare in Malachi 3:10 to prove him by bringing tithes, and that if one does so, God will pour out more blessings than one has room to receive.
This document discusses various biblical principles around selfish ambition. It cautions against always looking out for number one, as Jesus did not do this and instead died for others. Several passages are referenced that teach we should not be self-seeking but should use our resources to help others. The document encourages focusing on God first, living for heaven not earthly things, and having a pure heart like Jesus. It suggests the best life is found in following Christ.
1 Thess. 5:16 commands that we should "Rejoice Evermore." Being joyous is directly related to how we perceive the circumstances surrounding us. No matter what happens - good or bad - we must see everything as the will of God and continue to give Him thanks always. This is the secret of being joyous.

The document discusses the importance of proclaiming Christ in a wicked world. It references examples from the Bible of righteous individuals like the demon-possessed man and Lot proclaiming the message of Christ despite living among sinful people. Christians are called to warn others about the coming final judgment and destruction, and to tell people how to be saved through believing, repenting of sins, confessing faith, and faithful living according to the gospel. The key message is that believers should make their lives about proclaiming Christ to persuade others and care about their souls.
The document discusses the importance and benefits of confession. It argues that confession is necessary according to the Bible and helps maintain our spiritual relationship with God. Confession involves acknowledging our sins to God and others, repenting of sins, and continuing to profess faith in Christ. When we confess sins, it allows God to forgive us and restore our relationship, while confessing to others can help us recognize sins and be healed from them.

This document discusses biblical principles of Christian giving. It argues that everything belongs to God and we are merely stewards of His resources. While the Old Testament prescribed tithes of 10% or more, the New Testament does not give a specific percentage. However, it suggests we should be willing to give God all of our resources, and that if Old Testament followers gave 33% how can New Testament Christians reason they should give less? The key is not how little we can give but having the right attitude of cheerful giving out of appreciation for God's blessings.
The document discusses the importance of biblical giving based on several passages of scripture. It notes that giving is discussed over 120 times in the gospels and that one out of every six verses in the New Testament deals with money. Improper giving is equated to sins like murder. The document warns that money wants to rule over people and make them miserable masters if they are slaves to it. It encourages people to be liberal, scriptural givers in order to save themselves and rule over their money rather than be ruled by it.
The document discusses biblical passages about money and giving. It includes verses that say we cannot serve both God and money, that a tithe belongs to God, and we should give cheerfully without reluctance. Other verses advise saving for the future rather than spending everything, avoiding debt, and being faithful stewards. Being financially responsible for one's household is also mentioned.
This document provides guidance for Christians on how to live as faithful members of God's team. It encourages believers to (1) faithfully attend practices by regularly reading Scripture and praying, (2) love and support fellow Christians like a close-knit team should, and (3) use the spiritual gifts and talents God has given them for His glory rather than complaining. The overall message is that Christians should strive to play their part well and glorify God with their actions as valuable members of His team.

- Acts of kindness include caring about others and making efforts to help them through both words and deeds.
- People should prepare their heart with charity and do good works to demonstrate kindness to others, as Jesus exemplified.
- God requires His people to be kind to others and set a good example, just as He Himself is kind. We should strive to help others as we would want help ourselves.
This document discusses the need for Christians to be transformed. It notes that we were created by God but need to be transformed from sinfulness to godliness through following Jesus. The document emphasizes that true transformation means being a living sacrifice for God with our whole lives, developing Christ-like character through obeying God's word, and bearing fruit worthy of repentance. Christians must let the word of Christ transform their entire life.

Bible verses are provided for each condition.

This document provides an overview of a 2-week series called "Living The Blessed Life" taught by David Thompson. Week 1 focuses on Lordship and Generosity, while Week 2 covers Practical Stewardship and Generosity. The document discusses biblical principles of generosity, including that we are stewards not owners of what God provides. It encourages tithing as a starting point and promises God will bless the generous. The final week will share a story called "Miracle in Franklin" and discuss practical application.
The document discusses biblical perspectives on money, possessions, and generosity. It provides several "keys" or principles: 1) God owns everything and we are merely stewards of what he provides. 2) Where we put our money reveals where our heart is and determines where it will go. 3) Heaven, not earth, is our true home. 4) We should live not just for short-term pleasures but with an eye to eternal rewards. 5) Giving is the only remedy for materialism and selfish desires. 6) God blesses our generosity not to raise our standard of living but to increase our standard of giving.
This document discusses the 8th commandment against stealing. It notes that this commandment implies the right of ownership, but that God is the ultimate owner of all things. It also notes that stealing goes against the essence of the Christian life, which is giving rather than getting. Finally, it discusses how the reach of this commandment is broader than often realized, as it relates to issues of dignity, productivity, charity, credibility, and notability in our relationships with God and others.
The document discusses Christian giving and generosity. It notes that the average American Christian gives only 2.6% of their income annually, far less than what is biblically prescribed. It encourages readers to view themselves as stewards of God's resources and give generously, as their heart will follow their treasure. When Christians store up wealth in heaven through giving, they gain blessings and prosperity both in this life and the next.
The document discusses how materialism leads people to always want more things in the mistaken belief that having more will make them happy, important, or secure. It provides Bible verses explaining that wealth and possessions do not provide true happiness or security. It recommends breaking free from materialism by resisting comparisons to others, rejoicing in what you have, tithing to God, and refocusing on permanent spiritual values rather than earthly possessions.
This document discusses how true worth and value come from God, not material possessions or wealth. It argues that focusing too much on worldly riches can cause us to lose sight of what is truly important in life and in the afterlife. The document encourages transforming one's life according to God's wisdom and will rather than conforming to the ways of the world. It concludes by inviting the reader to receive salvation through faith in Christ.

wolf is coming no adultery, mental infidelity The Punishment of the World, t...franktsao4
Just like the happy couple mentioned in the previous article A185, it is mentioned that it is difficult for men and women to understand each other because of social problems. The problem of close family is to cause disagreements between each other, and more seriously, extramarital affairs. Domestic violence hits hard. And even all the marriage courses can't be saved, so the whole society is living in a wolf. It is always worried that there will be a change in marriage, but the only way out is to enter into Christ and change our hearts through the power of God, instead of living in the shadow of this horror

It encourages tithing 10% of one's income to support God's work. It provides guidance on increasing income, decreasing expenses, avoiding debt, and letting money work through investments.

How God Uses Money to Shape Us: Financial Freedeom and ContentmentPacific Church
The document discusses financial freedom and contentment. It argues that the primary driver of debt is discontentment, as people are never satisfied with what they have due to a love of money and wealth. True contentment comes from knowing God has provided everything needed for happiness, rather than from financial means. Contentment is a spiritual endeavor found through putting one's hope in God rather than wealth. The document encourages being content in every situation through relying on Christ's strength.
The document discusses biblical financial priorities. It argues that God desires order and that the family should be the top priority. It then outlines five biblical financial priorities: 1) giving to God first through tithing and offerings 2) saving for one's family 3) spending responsibly to honor God 4) generosity towards others in need and 5) rightfully enjoying God's provision for those who obey. It provides biblical support for each priority and encourages applying these principles to managing one's finances.
This document discusses biblical principles of financial management. It encourages developing a business plan, budget, and investment strategy. The goal is to eliminate debt, save money, and become financially independent through sacrifice, discipline and faithfully managing God's resources. Quotes from Proverbs, Matthew and other books emphasize the importance of having a God-driven vision and not being bound to money or living beyond one's means. The overall message is that God has given each person a business to manage and wants them to do so wisely for His glory.
This document outlines a five-part Sunday school series on biblical principles for managing money. The series, led by financial expert Dave Ramsey, will address topics like budgeting, money myths, debt, generosity, and wealth.

The goal is to help participants develop a biblical view of finances and experience freedom, healing, and peace through applying God's principles of wise money management and generous giving.
Materials for a five-week sermon series called "40 Days of Money" based on Randy Alcorn’s book Managing God's Money were created by Conrad Dueck, pastor of Calvary Baptist Church in Emo, Ontario, Canada. These Powerpoint presentations correspond with his full sermons. All of his materials are available at http://www.epm.org/resources/2011/Oct/16/mgm-resources-pastors/, subsection “Sermon Series Materials”.
This document discusses the concept of prosperity from both a biblical and practical perspective. It defines true prosperity as comprehensive well-being that allows one to enjoy what they have, regardless of amount. Several illusions about prosperity are identified, such as relying on others or hard work alone. Instead, it advocates developing a proactive approach to managing resources well and avoiding self-indulgence. The overall message is that true prosperity and fulfillment comes from putting God first and seeing money as a means to help others rather than a source of happiness.
The document discusses the dangers of greed and the love of money, asserting that these things can ruin lives and create problems. It notes that not all problems are related to money, and that money must be used properly. The document presents God's solution as following his word found in the Bible. It states that the truth sets people free from sin if they obey it. The document encourages dedicating one's life to Jesus by hearing and believing the gospel, repenting of sin, confessing faith, and being baptized.
The document provides a summary of the Seventh and Eighth Commandments from the perspective of a Christian religious education lesson. It discusses how God wants us to respect others' possessions and not steal from our neighbors. It also explains the importance of protecting others' good reputation and not spreading lies or gossip about people, as this can seriously harm them. The lesson emphasizes that while possessions are gifts from God, they are meant to be used to support our families, help those in need, pay taxes, and support the church, rather than for selfish enjoyment alone.
Realigned - Finding God's Purpose for Your MoneyJosh Lawson
What is the true purpose of our finances?
What would it take for you to not always be stressed out about your money?
In this slide deck, Josh Lawson talks about three priorities for Realigning your financial life.
This document discusses how Jesus's sacrifice allows believers to have full assurance in God. It notes that animal sacrifices under the old law could not truly take away sins, but Jesus's single sacrifice was sufficient. Through faith in Christ, believers no longer have their sins held against them but can boldly approach God. The document encourages Christians to prepare for Jesus's return by assembling together, stirring up love and good works, and obeying the gospel through faith, repentance, confession, baptism and faithfulness.
Lesson by Mike Smith How can you focus on God? Remember what the God of Hope... that is Jehovah teaches us! Learn what the Creator should mean to us concerning hope.
This document discusses what it means to walk in the light based on several Bible passages. It means to live as Christ lived by keeping God's commandments and following His example. Christ is the source of our light, and we are commanded to walk as children of light by finding what pleases God in His word. The document encourages walking with God by agreeing with Him, walking uprightly and worthily in humility and love. It concludes by urging the reader to follow Jesus as the light of the world, not let Satan hinder them, and to hear, believe, repent of sins, confess Jesus, and be baptized into Christ.
This document discusses gaining godly wisdom. It begins by noting that wisdom should be the principle goal and comes from God. It then lists some blockers to wisdom like envy, self-seeking, and earthly desires. The document advocates developing godly qualities like purity, peacefulness, gentleness, mercy, and sincerity. It concludes by stating the godly wisdom involves righteous living guided by self-control according to God's word and the gospel of Christ.
The document discusses how to find Jesus. It says that while some say Jesus does not exist, others are interested in finding him. It then provides biblical references showing that people should seek Jesus with diligence and their whole heart. It notes Jesus pre-existed, was prophesied about, and was proven to have come as the leader and savior. The document concludes that Jesus can be found through studying scripture and coming to him, and that his message should be taught to all so they can be saved.
Lesson by Mike Smith Investigate the turmoil this world is facing and how we can live upright despite the confusion that is all around us. Live for Jesus my friends!
The document compares the truth of God to a Big Mac hamburger in three ways:
1) You can only find the truth in the church, just as you can only find a Big Mac at McDonald's.
2) The truth has the right ingredients (no compromises) according to the Bible, just as a Big Mac has the standard ingredients.
3) Some people do not like the truth any more than some do not like Big Macs, but finding and accepting the truth, like eating a Big Mac, satisfies and provides sustenance for life.
This document discusses the major decision of faith and lessons from Moses' example of faith. It summarizes that Moses refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, chose to suffer affliction with God's people over Egypt's pleasures, and looked to the heavenly reward. By faith, Moses stood for justice, thought God would use him to deliver Israel, forsook Egypt without fearing the king's wrath, and endured invisible to his heavenly Father. The document encourages walking by faith like Moses, knowing this world offers nothing but Jesus does.
This document lists 177 New Testament commands from the books of Luke and John. Some of the commands include instructions to pray regularly, ask God for daily provision and forgiveness, give to those in need, beware of hypocrisy and covetousness, and remember God's commands to love others. Believers are told not to fear man but to fear God, and to be ready for Christ's return at any time.
This document discusses the importance of gospel meetings for teaching communities about Christianity. It provides several Bible verses to support continued teaching and fellowship as seen in the early church. The document encourages preparing for an upcoming gospel meeting by inviting people, creating materials to advertise, and being ready to participate and teach others. The goal is to provide opportunities for people to learn about Christianity and come to God, while glorifying Him in the process.
This document discusses the concept of spirituality as exemplified in the Christian life. It defines spirituality as a state where the soul is vitalized by the Holy Spirit and committed to religious values. True spirituality involves continual renewal and growth in knowledge of God through Bible study and prayer. Characteristics of a spiritual person include being directed by the Spirit, imitating Christ, having a thankful attitude, and caring for others. The conclusion encourages readers to commit to becoming more spiritual by offering spiritual sacrifices to God.
- The document discusses various lessons that can be learned from the life of King David, including his victory over Goliath as a young shepherd, sparing Saul's life when he had the chance to take revenge, listening to Abigail's wisdom to not kill Nabal in anger, and admitting his sin of adultery with Bathsheba after Nathan confronted him.
- It encourages learning from both David's triumphs and mistakes, recognizing and destroying the "giants" of fear, anger, lust, and revenge in our own lives, and being ready to face threats by putting on God's armor and using his word.
Quick to listen,Slow to speak, Slow to angerMichael Smith
God is good to all people and wants believers to interact properly with others. The document outlines three things we should do in our interactions: 1) be quick to listen and get all the facts before making decisions, 2) be slow to speak and think carefully before speaking to avoid harm, and 3) be slow to wrath since anger does not produce righteousness. Following these will help believers develop strong relationships through proper communication and behavior that honors God.
Lesson by Mike Smith In 1 John 5:1-6 we are shown how to overcome the world. Come and see how you can overcome through your obedient faith in Jesus Christ.
Lesson by Mike Smith Next in My Building A New You Series... Learn how your awareness of the truth helps you to develop a new view of life and eternity.

Lucid Dreaming: Understanding the Risks and Benefits
The ability to control one's dreams or for the dreamer to be aware that he or she is dreaming. This process, called lucid dreaming, has some potential risks as well as many fascinating benefits. However, many people are hesitant to try it initially for fear of the potential dangers. This article aims to clarify these concerns by exploring both the risks and benefits of lucid dreaming.
The Benefits of Lucid Dreaming
Lucid dreaming allows a person to take control of their dream world, helping them overcome their fears and eliminate nightmares. This technique is particularly useful for mental health. By taking control of their dreams, individuals can face challenging scenarios in a controlled environment, which can help reduce anxiety and increase self-confidence.
Addressing Common Concerns
Physical Harm in Dreams Lucid dreaming is fundamentally safe. In a lucid dream, everything is a creation of your mind. Therefore, nothing in the dream can physically harm you. Despite the vividness and realness of the dream experience, it remains entirely within your mental landscape, posing no physical danger.
Mental Health Risks Concerns about developing PTSD or other mental illnesses from lucid dreaming are unfounded. As soon as you wake up, it's clear that the events experienced in the dream were not real. On the contrary, lucid dreaming is often seen as a therapeutic tool for conditions like PTSD, as it allows individuals to reframe and manage their thoughts.
Potential Risks of Lucid Dreaming
While generally safe, lucid dreaming does come with a few risks as well:
Mixing Dream Memories with Reality Long-term lucid dreamers might occasionally confuse dream memories with real ones, creating false memories. This issue is rare and preventable by maintaining a dream journal and avoiding lucid dreaming about real-life people or places too frequently.
Escapism Using lucid dreaming to escape reality can be problematic if it interferes with your daily life. While it is sometimes beneficial to escape and relieve the stress of reality, relying on lucid dreaming for happiness can hinder personal growth and productivity.
Feeling Tired After Lucid Dreaming Some people report feeling tired after lucid dreaming. This tiredness is not due to the dreams themselves but often results from not getting enough sleep or using techniques that disrupt sleep patterns. Taking breaks and ensuring adequate sleep can prevent this.
Mental Exhaustion Lucid dreaming can be mentally taxing if practiced excessively without breaks. It’s important to balance lucid dreaming with regular sleep to avoid mental fatigue.
Lucid dreaming is safe and beneficial if done with caution. It has many benefits, such as overcoming fear and improving mental health, and minimal risks. There are many resources and tutorials available for those interested in trying it.

Lição 12: João 15 a 17 – O Espírito Santo e a Oração Sacerdotal | 2° Trimestr...OmarBarrezueta1
Esta lição é uma oportunidade para discutirmos um assunto multo mal interpretado no contexto cristão, que é o fato de algumas pessoas pensarem que o conhecer Jesus é ter a nossa vida mudada em todas as áreas, como se Deus tivesse o dever de transportar-nos deste mundo para um outro mundo onde muitas coisas maravilhosas que desejamos seriam reais. No entanto, a nossa fé não nos tira do mundo após nos convertermos; ao invés disso, permanecemos vivendo sob as mesmas circunstâncias. O propósito de Deus não é nos tirar do mundo, mas nos livrar das ações do maligno (Jo 17.15), Sendo assim, a vida eterna não significa estar fora da realidade deste mundo, mas conhecer o único Deus verdadeiro (Jo 17.3).
Astronism, Cosmism and Cosmodeism: the space religions espousing the doctrine...Cometan
This lecture created by Brandon Taylorian (aka Cometan) specially for the CESNUR Conference held Bordeaux in June 2024 provides a brief introduction to the legacy of religious and philosophical thought that Astronism emerges from, namely the discourse on transcension started assuredly by the Cosmists in Russia in the mid-to-late nineteenth century and then carried on and developed by Mordecai Nessyahu in Cosmodeism in the twentieth century. Cometan also then provides some detail on his story in founding Astronism in the early twenty-first century from 2013 along with details on the central Astronist doctrine of transcension. Finally, the lecture concludes with some contributions made by space religions and space philosophy and their influences on various cultural facets in art, literature and film.
The Book of Revelation, filled with symbolic and apocalyptic imagery, presents one of its most striking visions in Revelation 9:3-12—the locust army. Understanding the significance of this locust army provides insight into the broader themes of divine judgment, protection, and the ultimate triumph of God’s will as depicted in Revelation.

Introduction
Mantra Yoga is an exact science. "Mananat trayate iti mantrah- by the Manana (constant thinking or recollection) of which one is protected or is released from the round of births and deaths, is Mantra." That is called Mantra by the meditation (Manana) on which the Jiva or the individual soul attains freedom from sin, enjoyment in heaven and final liberation, and by the aid of which it attains in full the fourfold fruit (Chaturvarga), i.e., Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. A Mantra is so called because it is achieved by the mental process.

"Lift off" by Pastor Mark Behr at North Athens Baptist Church
There'sMoreJoyinMoreMoney
1.
2. the need to know about money
• The subject of stewardship is more important
than most folks realize!
– We study this subject because the Bible says
more about stewardship than it does about
faith, water baptism, repentance, heaven, hell,
and the Lord’s supper.
• Most people are forced to think about money
every day.
– Thus, God teaches us how to think about and deal
with our blessings. 1 Corinthians 4:2
3. •Why do most people believe this myth?
•Is more always better? Luke 12:15
•Is the desire for more of something
always wrong? Mt. 25:14-ff; Col.1:9-10
•Is it because they want to believe it?
Proverbs 21:2
•What does this attitude usually lead to?
•Coveting, greed, avarice, being deceived?
•The profit of the earth is for all! Eccl. 5:9
4. there’s more pain in more money
• Riches kept brings hurt not joy! Eccl. 5:13
• Punishment is NOT joyous. Prov. 28:20
• Most people don’t like the “greater
responsibility” that comes with it.
Luke 12:48
• More money is not really always, “more in
the bank”. Eccl. 5:11 “Spigot effect”
• Achan was aching for a treasure and lost
everything because of it! Joshua 7:21, 25
Understanding that More is Never Enough
Ecclesiastes 5:13
5. there’s no real joy in never enough money
• “He who loves money will not be satisfied
with money, nor he who loves wealth with
his income; this also is vanity.” Eccl. 5:10
– There’s no real joy in NOT being satisfied with
what God gives us. Nor in the insatiable
appetite that greed incurs.
• God gives us exactly what we need,&what
we can handle, to serve Him the way He
wants! Jeremiah 17:10
– Truth is, there is real joy in being content with
what we have... 1 Timothy 6:6-8
Ecclesiastes 5:10
Understanding that More is Never Enough
6. coveting more leads to sinful snares
• Because people will use sinful methods to
attain riches, but they will pay in the end.
– By oppression and robbery... Psalm 62:10
– Some murder for goods... Proverbs 1:10-19
• Covetousness keeps one out of heaven!
1 Corinthians 6:10
• Instead of more money, one needs the
true God, righteousness, and wisdom!
Proverbs 3:13-18; 8:17-21
Understanding that More is Never Enough
1 Timothy 6:9-10
7. there’s true joy in faithful stewardship!
• Be a good steward of your soul and be saved
today! Romans 3:23; 1 Tim. 2:3-4
• Come to God by obeying the gospel of Christ:
– Hear & believe it! 1 Cor. 15:3-4; Rom. 1:16-17
– Repent of your sins! Acts 2:38
– Confess Jesus! Acts 8:37
– Be baptized into Christ! Rom. 6:3-6; Eph. 1:3
