We are all PRISONERS OF OUR SINFUL NATURE.

life and WILL NOT BE CONDEMNED; HE HAS CROSSED
OVER FROM DEATH TO LIFE.”

-Follow his teachings and good deeds.
“When the soul surrenders itself to Christ, a new power takes
possession of the new heart. A change is wrought which men can never accomplish by himself. It is a supernatural element of human nature… Unless we become vitally connected with God, we can never
resist the unhallowed effects of self-love, self-indulgence, and
temptation to sin. -
-We may leave off many bad habits, for a time we may part
company with Satan. But without the vital connection with
God, through the surrender of our selves to Him moment by moment, we can and will be
overcome once again by evil.”
