Knowing You Belong to Christ

Opening Prayer

Heavenly Father,

Thank You for the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ. Thank You that Your promises are sure and Your Word is trustworthy. As we study today, help us understand the assurance that believers can have in Christ. Strengthen our faith, remove our doubts, and help us rest confidently in the finished work of Jesus. May our confidence be rooted in Your promises and not in our own efforts.

In Jesus’ name we pray,

Amen.

Primary Text

1 John 5:11-13

“And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.

He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.

These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life…”

Supporting Texts

“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.

And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.

My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand.”

Romans 8:1

Romans 8:38-39

nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

We are pleased to welcome you to the official website of Crossing to Life Press.

Crossing to Life Press was established with a simple but important mission: to publish biblically faithful books and resources that help people grow in their understanding of God’s Word and deepen their relationship with Jesus Christ. In a world filled with conflicting voices and ever-changing ideas, we believe that Scripture remains the ultimate source of truth, wisdom, hope, and life.

The name Crossing to Life reflects a journey that every believer must take. Knowledge alone cannot transform the heart. Information alone cannot produce spiritual life. True transformation comes when God’s truth moves beyond the mind and takes root in the heart, leading us to faith, obedience, and a life centered on Christ.

Through books, Bible studies, devotionals, discipleship materials, and teaching resources, our desire is to equip believers, encourage spiritual growth, and strengthen local churches. Whether you are a new believer seeking to understand the foundations of your faith or a mature Christian pursuing deeper biblical insight, we hope these resources will serve as helpful companions on your spiritual journey.

This website will serve as a growing library of publications and resources. Here you will find information about our books, learn more about our authors, access free ministry materials, and stay informed about future releases. We are committed to providing resources that are grounded in Scripture, centered on the gospel, and relevant to everyday Christian living.

We are especially grateful for the opportunity to share the writings and teaching ministry of Dr. Ed Grefiel, whose passion for biblical truth and discipleship continues to encourage believers and church leaders alike. His books and resources reflect a desire to help readers understand not only what Scripture teaches, but how its truths can be lived out in daily life.

As we begin this new chapter, we invite you to explore the site, discover the resources available, and join us in our mission of publishing truth and pointing people to life in Christ.

Thank you for visiting Crossing to Life Press. We pray that the resources you find here will encourage your faith, strengthen your walk with God, and inspire you to share His truth with others.

“The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life.” — John 6:63
