Transforming Power Statements:


#1) What could never be done by man at any time was done by Jesus Christ once and for all who believe, that is to satisfy God by righteousness.
#2) God’s quest for mankind, since He loved them, was to give them that which He required and that which they could not ever produce as a means of a “Free Gift”.
#3) Only through Jesus Christ is it possible for righteousness to reign which is greater than the reign of death that still exists from Adam to present for all who do not receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.
