A genuine hunger for God's Word 5. A sincere desire to exalt Christ 6. A willingness to be led by the Holy Spirit 7. A passion to disciple all Christians 8.

Declaration Because of my salvation through Jesus Christ, I am free from the law of sin and death. I am an original creation of immeasurable worth designed by my Father for His good pleasure! He delights in me! My God accepts me without reservation; I am totally loved and totally forgiven; holy and blameless in His sight. I am complete in Christ Jesus. When my life reflects who I am in Christ, I fulfil a unique position that is essential to keeping the body of Christ healthy, an image of life in Christ to the world. I no longer live for myself; I live for my Savior, and I serve at the pleasure of my King. |
