From 2 Peter 1:5-11 it was showr that Christians have many minor goals to achieve in order to meet their major goal the at taining of eternal life. "The first thing to do for one who is not a Christian is to become be-come a member of God's family in obedience to His will. Jesus told Nicodemus, 'Except one be born anew, he cannot see the kingdom of God' (John 3:3). He instructed His disciples, 'Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; he that believeth not shall be damned' (Mark 16:15,16). When one sees what is God's will for him, he should not put it off, but he should proceed to do it immediately. "The first decision that one makes after becoming a Christian is that he will worship regularly. He makes that decision because he needs the opportunity to express ex-press his thankfulness to God and to know better the Creator of the universe. He also needs the fellowship of worshipping with other Christians." The subject for next Sunday morning is to be "Christian Stewardship." Ste-wardship." Everyone is cordially invited to attend.
