What must each of us
do to receive eternal life? Take...
The Pledge
Romans
3:10-12
As it is written: "There is no one righteous, not even one;
(11)
there is no one who understands, no one who seeks God. (12)
All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is
no one who does good, not even one."
Romans
6:23
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life
in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans
3:20-26
Therefore no one will be declared righteous in his sight by
observing the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of
sin. (21)
But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made
known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. (22)
This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to
all who believe. There is no difference, (23)
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, (24)
and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that
came by Christ Jesus. (25)
God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his
blood. He did this to demonstrate his justice, because in his
forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished--
(26)
he did it to demonstrate his justice at the present time, so as to
be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.
Philippians
3:7-16
But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of
Christ. (8)
What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the
surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake
I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain
Christ (9)
and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes
from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ-- the
righteousness that comes from God and is by faith. (10)
I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the
fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his
death, (11)
and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead. (12)
Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made
perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus
took hold of me. (13)
Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But
one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what
is ahead, (14)
I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called
me heavenward in Christ Jesus. (15)
All of us who are mature should take such a view of things. And if
on some point you think differently, that too God will make clear to
you. (16)
Only let us live up to what we have already attained.
Acts
2:37-39
When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to
Peter and the other apostles, "Brothers, what shall we do?"
(38)
Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in
the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you
will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. (39)
The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far
off--for all whom the Lord our God will call."
Deuteronomy
6:4-9
Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. (5)
Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul
and with all your strength. (6)
These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts.
(7)
Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home
and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get
up. (8)
Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.
(9)
Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.
The Pledge Lyrics
He died for me, I'll live for him.
It's a world of choices, patterned to confuse,
Distracting, little voices whisper what to do,
Searching for the pieces, one step from the edge,
Turn your heart to Jesus, make this solemn pledge...
He died for me, I'll live for him,
He died for me, I'll live for him.
Above all lords and regents, he is king of kings,
I'm pledging my allegiance through these words I sing,
Take this oath of service, write it on your wall,
It's our only purpose for living life at all.
He died for me, I'll live for him,
He died for me, I'll live for him,
He died for me, I'll live for him,
He died for me, I'll live for him.
He died for me, I'll live for him,
He died for me, I'll live for him,
He died for me, I'll live for him,
He died for me, I'll live for him,
He died for me, I'll live for him,
He died for me, I'll live for him,
He died for me, I'll live for him,
He died for me, I'll live for him,

He died for me, I'll live for him,
He died for me, I'll live for him,
He died for me, I'll live for him,
He died for me, I'll live for him,
