There are so many things about having a relationship with Christ that are important for us to know. When we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior and realize we are born again of God's seed, a child of God, we automatically receive promises made to us by God. Knowledge of these promises help us to live the abundant life that God has planned for us.
We are not giving up a way of life but gaining a better way of life with all the benefits of being a child of God. By learning what God had given us and learning how to put on th mind of Christ, to be Christlike we gain the gifts of the Spirit. The nine gifts of the Spirit are love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and temperance.
I'm going to share with you a few of the many, many promises that become yours when you accept Jesus Christ as your risen Lord and Savior.
