Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.
Christians are able to be accountable to God through the means of His Word!

Line your life up with what God has shown you to be right according to His word. b. Make a commitment to treasure the word of God and follow it over the whim and traditions of men. SO WHAT?
