Pushing me to continue the bad life style. Dealing with the temptation of my previous life. b. Yes. Saying we use Jesus as a crutch. Calling me a self righteous person. c. Being embarrassed to pray in public. Do you feel the need to laugh at off colored jokes. Temptation to join in on bad language. d. By praying in public, by reaching out to the needy.

Valuable teaching

His Name represents His mission. Jesus mean sozo; savior. To offer through His cruel death and resurrection we can be forgiven of a life of sin and live eternally. By His horrible death he provided our salvation. Yes in my life He forgave me, set me free and gave me eternal life.
