If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9
Jesus Christ was crucified... he shed His blood and died on a Roman cross in Jerusalem witnessed by hundreds, perhaps thousands. BUT THREE DAYS LATER, HE AROSE FROM THE GRAVE AND WALKED ON THE EARTH FOR FORTY DAYS BEING SEEN BY HUNDREDS. He was the Sacrificial Lamb, making a way for us to be right with God by paying the debt for our sins on that old wooden cross.
Jesus promised that one day he's coming back! He will come back for you if you will believe in your heart that Jesus Christ came to earth as God in the flesh... taking on the form of a man... that He died a sacrificial, substitute death on the cross for your sins and mine, was raised from the dead. If you will confess with your mouth that you accept him as Lord of your life; then on the authority of the Word of God, the Holy Bible, you can avoid the punishment of sin, you can inherit eternal life, and you can begin a new life with God... a life that will never end. You can do that today right where you are. If you truly mean it - and He will know if you are serious about Him - then He will come into your life and give you a new life, a new hope, a new purpose, and a new commitment to live a selfless life, surrendered only to Him.
My dear friend, all my sins are forgiven because I have put my faith and trust in my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He is preparing a place for me in heaven and for all those who will receive Him as Savior and Lord.
Praise God... Jesus took our place on the cross so we could have a place in heaven!
His grace is sufficient for you. He still saves all those who will come to him. Romans 10:13... "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Revelation 3:10... "Behold I(Jesus) stand at the door and knock. If any man hear my voice and open the door I will come in to him." You must open the door from the inside. Jesus will not force himself into your life.
"A Christian is an odd number anyway. He feels supreme love for One whom he has never seen, talks familiarly every day to Someone he cannot see, expects to go to heaven on the virtue of another, empties himself in order to be full, admits he is wrong so he can be declared right, goes down in order to get up, is strongest when he is weakest, richest when he is poorest, and happiest when he feels worst. He dies so he can live, forsakes in order to have, gives away so he can keep, sees the invisible, hears the inaudible, and knows that which passes knowledge." A.W. Tozer

I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live; yet not I but Christ liveth in me, and the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me. Galatians 2:20
She sent me this note when school was starting at MC. (August 26, 2024)
The Alta Woods scholarship is so generous and has provided me with many great opportunities. I am now a double major in Christian Studies and Spanish. This past spring semester, I had the amazing opportunity to go on a study abroad trip to Guam. It was possible for me to go on this 2-week long trip because of the Alta Woods scholarship! I learned so much about the island and the people there, and had the opportunity to apply what I had learned to my future in mission work.
On Friday, August 30th, I will fly to Spain, where I will study for the next three months. I am doing a semester abroad through MC’s Study Abroad program. The continuing generosity of the Alta Woods Scholarship is helping to make this experience possible for me. I am excited to experience and learn so many new things. I will be studying at the University of Salamanca, where I will exclusively study the Spanish language. This will aid me in future mission work. I hope the Lord will send me to a Spanish-speaking country, but if not, I know he will equip me with the resources I need to serve in any country.
I look forward to returning to MC in January of 2025, and would be happy to visit Alta Woods and the people there to provide an update on my semester abroad, if you would like!
Thank you again for your generosity!
In Christ,
Livi Cate Osborne
