TRACT 110: WHO IS A CHRISTIAN? ''And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch'' Acts 11:26. Many people are ignorant of the fact that being born into a home that goes to church or that bears Christian name does not automatically make one a Christian. They are also ignorant of the fact that Christianity is not a religion; and a Christian is not a religionist. Who then is a Christian? A Christian is a disciple of Christ who put all the beatitudes (first and foremost teaching of Christ about the kingdom of God) into practice. In other words, a Christian is a little Christ who live a life of beatitude. There were multitudes who followed Jesus during his lifetime but only few were disciples (dedicated followers of Christ).

TRACT 109: SEE HOW WE BUILT THE CHURCH ''Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.

I was beheaded for speaking the truth; but the joy of it all was that I prepared the ground for Jesus to build his Church, and I am presently in heaven. Jesus Christ: I embarked on forty days - forty nights prayer ...

TRACT 108: JESUS' LAST SEVEN WORDS (On the Cross) Here are the last seven words of dying Jesus on the cross of Calvary. 1. Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do - Luke 23:34 The consequence of sin and unbelief is eternal suffering in hell. If sinners and unbelievers (Jealous religious leaders and their followers) had knew this, they would have believed in righteous Jesus and not crucified him. Jesus anticipated for their salvation and conversion; and begged the father to avert His instant judgment on them. What a greatest dept of love! The question is, are you among sinners, unbelievers who are still crucifying Jesus? 2. Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise - Luke 23:43 There were two thieves crucified on the two other crosses beside Jesus, who heard Jesus begging the father to forgive his enemies (sinners and unbelievers) but only one repented and humbly asked Jesus for salvation. He received instant salvation and became t...
