CONCLUSION…

The Bible teaches us that God “SO LOVED THE WORLD” and this is the same type love you and I, as truly born a again children of God, are supposed to have for those around us as well!

So Conqueror’s class member, let me ask you this morning, are you walking in obedience and love today??

Are you giving an impression that you love God or is your life offering proof of that love?? If you are walking in the light, even as He is in the light, you can give proof to the world that Christ is really real and that His love for them is really real!

The Bible reminds us in Acts 4:13-14 “Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus. And beholding the man which was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.”

These verses say it all! Dear child of God…the world is looking at us today, but what are they seeing??
