sin, Yet you obeyed from the heart that form of
doctrine to which you were delivered. And
having been set free from sin, you became slaves
of righteousness.

Acts 835-37 35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and
beginning at this Scripture, preached Jesus to
him. 36 Now as they went down the road, they
came to some water. And the eunuch said, "See,
here is water. What hinders me from being
baptized?" 37 Then Philip said,"If you believe
with all your heart, you may."

If Anyone is in Christ 2 Cor 517-19
17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new
creation old things have passed away behold,
all things have become new. 18 Now all things
are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself
through Jesus Christ, and has given us the
ministry of reconciliation, 19 that is, that God
was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself,
not imputing their trespasses to them, and has
committed to us the word of reconciliation.

to separate us from the love of God which is in
Christ Jesus our Lord. NKJV

Is thy Heart is Right with God
Have thy affections been nailed to the
cross? Dost thou count all things for Jesus but
loss? Hast thou dominion oer self and oer
sin? Over all evil without and within? Is there
no more condemnation for sin? Does Jesus rule in
the temple within? Are all thy powrs under
Jesus control? Does He each moment abide in thy
soul? Are all thy powrs under Jesus
control? Does He each moment abide in thy soul?

Refrain Is thy heart right with God, Washed in
the crimson flood, Cleansed and made holy,
humble and lowly, Right in the sight of God?

gospel to every creature. 16 He who believes
and is baptized will be saved but he who does
not believe will be condemned. NKJV
