Fill in the Blank

When we trust Christ, we can know that God will continue the good work He started in us. God preserves our lives for His purpose, and He preserves our salvation. Jesus promised that no one can take you out of God’s hand. No temptation, no failure, no person, not even Satan can cause God’s children to lose their salvation. God preserves us to accomplish His purpose for us because He is our P_e_e_v_r.

​What is summary?

​A summary is a shorter description of a longer work, covering all of the highlights but not many of the details. It’s used for an overview so that people can get an idea of what the longer work entails without reading or watching it first.

How to ​Summarise

​

1. Read or watch the source material

​2. Make a list of the key points

​3. Write the summary in your own words

​4. Edit and cut what’s unnecessary

​Oh no... it is raining so hard outside right now, I really really want to go out and play some basketball. What should I do now? I am so bored...

​Basically what I am trying to say??
