Living Water Gospel of John
	We at Grace Covenant Church desire to spread the Good News of our Lord Jesus Christ in order to see others come to saving faith in Jesus Christ. Jesus said in John 5:24, "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears my word and believes him who sent me, has eternal life; he does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life." (RSV) What better way for people to hear His word than to place that word in their hands that they might read it for themselves. The Gospel of John is the only book in the New Testament that is explicitly written to those who have yet to believe Jesus and His promise for eternal life: "But these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in His Name." (John 20:31 Logos21) We at Grace Covenant Church actively seek to give out the Gospel of John--so that others might hear God's Word about Jesus and believe. We encourage you to read the Gospel of John, asking the Holy Spirit to open your mind to understand God's message of saving grace. We are thankful to those at Absolutely Free, Inc. who offer the Gospel of John without cost!
