One of the first things we learn as children are the A-B-C's. These basic building blocks may seem simple, but they are very important, since they form the foundation for our future learning and understanding.

God's message of love and salvation found in the Bible has its A-B-C's too. Much like the importance of the alphabet, the simple truth they share is not only essential for spiritual life, it also is the basis for our spiritual freedom and growth.

all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. (Matthew 11:28)

"Seek ye the Lord while He may be found, call ye upon Him while He is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord; and He will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon" (Isaiah 55:6,7).

"Him that cometh to Me, I will in no wise cast out" (John 6:37).
