Something Better

Listen from:
They who know Christ as their Savior have something far better than anything you can find in this world. They are too rich to care for money, too happy to hunt up the world's pleasures, and have an inner satisfaction, a joy and peace that cannot be found here.
Drugs, alcohol and giving in to the lusts which come from within, all give only temporary relief; they destroy health, and often result in the destruction of the mind, and in death. They are not the answer.
Those who have the Lord Jesus Christ as their own precious Savior know what it is to really live! All those hard-to-be-understood longings and yearnings within us are fully satisfied, and we are truly happy.
"I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. I am the good shepherd." John 10:10, 11.
The Apostle Paul could say, "I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ
Jesus my Lord... that I may win Christ, and be found in Him... that I may know Him." Phil. 3:8, 9, 10.
We can know "Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think." Eph. 3:20. To know the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior gives a settled peace and joy that nothing on earth can rival.
Come to Him and be truly happy! Then you can say as the Apostle Paul did, "To me to live is Christ." Phil. 1:21.
