Five Ways to Make Easter Holy Easter is many things. To us it is a HOLY DAY How can we make Easter Holy? Be involved in your church by serving. Remember that Jesus really did die for our sins, was buried, and rose again the third day. Have you trusted in Him to be your God and Savior? Have you been born again through Him? Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved. For whoever will call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Jesus Himself borew our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness, by whose stripes you were healed. For Christ has once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God. For God made Him, who knew no sin, to be sin for us, that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him. Bethlie and I wish you a happy Easter week and we hope that you too will make Easter Holy!
