the blame and punishment for all

sinned and that I do not deserve to

into my life to be my Savior. In Your

Blessed Name I pray, Amen.”

now, NO CONDEMNATION to those

John 10:27-28 . . . “My sheep hear

My voice and I know them, and they

follow Me. And I give unto them

eternal life, and they shall never

perish, neither shall any man pluck

them out of my hand.”

1 John 5:12-13 – “He that has the

Son has life. He that has not the

Son of God has not life.

eternal life.”

garments of salvation, He has

covered me with the robes of His

righteousness.”
