Therefore, we believe that NO man has the<br>authority to re-write what God delivered in old time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Our Mission on Earth<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>To promote the gospel of Jesus Christ and fulfill the will of God. It is God&#8217;s<br>will that all men be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. We must<br>preach the truth teaching everyone how to live a clean and holy life! It is<br>God&#8217;s will that no one should perish but that all men come to repentance.<br>Mankind needs a great salvation. Lets pray for our enemies and do good to<br>all men, especially unto those who are of the household of faith. Let us fulfill<br>the wonderful works of Christ and God&#8217;s will. John 15:16 &#8220;Ye have not<br>chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you that ye should go<br>and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that<br>whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.&#8221;<br>Let God find us so working.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For this is the love of God that we keep his<br>commandments\u2026&#8221;-1st John 5:3<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>If a person loves Jesus, they will keep what Jesus tells them to do. Jesus<br>said that his sheep hear his voice and that they will follow his voice. Let<br>us live a life with a forgiving heart, dedicated to God&#8217;s love, with our<br>beliefs in action. James challenged us all in James 2:18 &#8220;Yea, a man<br>may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without<br>thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.&#8221; Shall we not<br>answer that challenge and become what God wants us to be &#8220;His<br>peculiar people, his holy ones&#8221;?
