When do we realize and practice our kinship with Christ, the Father, and the Holy Spirit? When do we relinquish our old preferences in order to live our re-born selves according to GOD’s purpose and guidance? (I John 3:8; Ephesians 3:11; II Timothy 1:9) What aboutusdecidingtodoJesusChristandHisLoverightnow?!
