Transforming Power Statements:
1) Regardless of what the world of unbelievers think about the Bible, it is the Word of the Living God and it is the only document on earth that not only tells the story of the creation, but also of its destruction and the creation of a “New Heaven and Earth” wherein righteousness shall dwell continually, and death shall be no more!
2) As we who believe are going through this life, God’s personal revelation of His Holy Word continually makes it possible for us to better understand with amazing and increasing clarity exactly what the world is going through and this revelation comforts us and prompts us to look forward to the day when God has promised to make all things new!
