Introductions and salutations are important in a letter. They catch your attention and make a first impression.
We must prepare our minds for action and be obedient to God's will.
Even though we have never seen God, we love him. We have never seen Jesus, but we believe in him and his teachings. Just knowing that brings us joy!
We build on our Christian life every day and it cannot be destroyed by others, but we can destroy it ourselves if we are not diligent in our daily lives for God.
Stay close to Jesus. Make him a daily thought and a daily encouragement.
