Fact: Christ died and rose again for you.
1 Corinthians 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Faith in that Fact
John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
John 6:47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.
Fruit of your Faith.
Matthew 7:20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
When you come to Christ, you'll begin to change. There'll be a change in your attitude. The Holy Spirit begins a new work in you.
You begin to love. Love becomes your life. You're a different person in the home. You're a different person in the community. You're a different person in school or at work.
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
The church is not a perfect organization. The family is not perfect. You're not perfect. We live in an imperfect world, and we're not going to be perfect, till we get to heaven. But when you come to Christ, you're on your way. That's called:
Sanctification- to be separate, set apart, to try your best to live a holy life.
1 Corinthians 1:30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
Matthew 10:32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.
Matthew 10:33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
AND REMEMBER, MY FRIEND, THIS IS FOR ETERNITY !
Billy at his best, God bless him, he did the will of God!

@danwazhere7 Amen! He sure did. He always preached the love of God, and that's what I needed to hear when I was growing up.
