There are 5 perspectives from the gospel that, when embraced and frequently pondered, shape lives:

• The need to recognize that God calls for ongoing and continual growth and change in all of us.
• The need to understand the extent and gravity of our sin.
• The need to understand that the heart is central; that behavior and attitude is a reflection of the heart.
• The need to understand the present benefits of Christ.
• The need to live a Lifestyle of Repentance & Faith.
