IT IS VERY SOBERING TO REALIZE WE CANNOT HIDE FROM GOD;
WE CANNOT PUT OUR SINS UNDER A COVER, INTO A BOX AND
HIDE THEM FROM THE LORD.
WE REALLY DO HAVE ONLY ONE WAY TO FIND ETERNAL LIFE:
TO CONFESS OUR SINS, TO ACCEPT JESUS' DEATH AND SHED
BLOOD, TO ACCEPT HIM AS OUR PERSONAL SAVIOR, AND TO
REPENT OF BEING A SINNER, AND SET OUR WAY OF LIFE IN
CONFORMITY TO THE WILL OF GOD, TO SERVE AND OBEY HIS
COMMANDMENTS, AND TO BE WILLING TO LIVE BY HIS EVERY
WORD AS JESUS TAUGHT WE SHOULD - MATTHEW 4:4.
