A Benefit for You

John wrote: "Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name." God created us to be alive and enjoy his life and a relationship with him. I went through the motions of saying that I accepted Christ as my savior and was baptized. Then several years later I prayed with a man and from that day forward my life actually changed.?I enjoy reading the Bible to get a better understanding of who I am in Christ and what he's done for me, but sometimes thoughts pop up and tell me it's works reading the Bible. Any advice?What does the Bible say about interracial marriage?Is there a disconnect between the early church and America as a primarily Christian nation?
