Reminder!

Good morning brothers and sisters. As this journey is moving forward, I am amazed at God's grace and mercy through it all. We are learning to truly trust God through it all. But you know, He also exposes hearts during this time. You come to know who is truly following Jesus and who say they are but are not. We have to remember that we are only saved by grace. So as Jesus exposes all things, we must remember to extend mercy and grace as He did for us. Ephesians 2:1-10. This is just a reminder for us that already follow and a lesson for the new followers of Christ. 1- And you HE MADE ALIVE, who were dead in trespasses and sins, 2- in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, 3- among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others. This is a great reminder, we all were once lost. We all were once not saved by Jesus. Think about that before you throw that first stone. Think about that before you make a greedy deal. Remember God will expose things. You once were in darkness and if you call yourself a child of God, you are no longer in darkness and do not do those things any longer. 4- But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, my most favorite saying, "But God". 5- even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6- and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus. 8- For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, IT IS A GIFT OF GOD, 9- not of works, lest anyone should boast. 10- For we are HIS workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. Jesus extended grace before we were ever thought of except by God. We too should extend grace. Repent, refresh, revive. Rise up children of God, rise up!
