PROPERTY GUIDES

On the front page of  The Northern Advocate Property Guide current to 28 November, 2012, you can see the picture of a most magnificent  mansion.

Unfortunately I have never been able to buy any property advertised in any of the real estate guides.

Why?

I have never had enough money to buy my own home for my family.

But for almost 55 years I own the most magnificent  property. I did not buy the mansion. The estate was given to me. The giver purchased it for me at a tremendeous sacrifice.

The SACRIFICE is a sacrifce of atonement. It is a sacrifice that turns away wrath and takes away sin. It is not only an atoning sacrifice for certain people, but it is an atoning sacrifice for the whole world.

The purchaser and giver who made the sacrifice is the Lord Jesus Christ.

My property guide is the Bible, and you find my property in the Bible.

The Northern Advocate Property Guide  expires on 28 November, but the Bible, the word of the Living God, has no expiry date.
