Christ Changed History<\/span><\/p>\n

Christ Changed Hearts<\/span><\/p>\n

“When Jesus Christ, the Son of God, came to earth, He came as a baby. He grew up<\/span> in the simple home of His earthly father, the carpenter Joseph. We know little <\/span>about Jesus as a boy. We do know that he was perfect.<\/span><\/p>\n

“His work on earth began when he was about thirty years of age. Jesus walked the<\/span> roads of Israel.\u00a0 He traveled fro city to city. He taught the people and performed <\/span>many miracles. Jesus taught that He was the Son of God. He taught that He had come <\/span>to bring life.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Many people followed Jesus from place to place to hear Him teach. But Jesus did <\/span> not come to earth just to teach the people. God sent Jesus Christ, His Son, to <\/span>earth to die for our sins.<\/span><\/p>\n

“As people believed in Jesus as their Saviour, their hearts were changed. They loved <\/span>a living God rather than idols. They began to love the things of God, rather than <\/span>the things of the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

“As people believed that Jesus was the Son of God, their lives were changed. They <\/span>began to love their neighbors. Others could not understand them.<\/span><\/p>\n

“During the early years after Jesus’ ministry, His followers began to be called <\/span>Christians.\u00a0 There were some who said that the Christians ‘turned the world upside <\/span>down.’<\/span><\/p>\n

“And when they found them not, they drew Jason and certain brethren unto the rulers <\/span>of the city, crying, These that have turned the world upside down are come hither <\/span>also;” Acts 17:6<\/span><\/p>\n

“Christians knew that they could be governed in their hearts. They could be controlled <\/span>and directed by God.\u00a0 This is Christian self government.”1<\/span><\/p>\n

“All of history reflects Christ and Christianity. History reveals that liberty for<\/span><\/strong>
\nthe individual is the result of Christ’s work upon this earth: His death, burial,<\/span><\/strong>
\nresurrection and ascention into heaven as the Son of God.\u00a0 Liberty first comes to<\/span><\/strong>
\nthe individual internally. The internal change of the heart brings forth external<\/span><\/strong>
\nchanges in the life and work of the individual.” 2<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
