To God We Owe….

To God, we owe it all, our lives and all that we are or hope to become.  In the Holy Bible we are given principles and guidance to follow in serving Him.  The path is not easy, but the reward is great – eternal life.  The below list was provided to me in an e-mail several years ago, Author Unknown.  The principles listed are Biblically based.
