Paul explains how God “made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions” (Ephesians 2:5). Dr R C Sproul notes: “God just doesn't throw a life preserver to a drowning person. He goes to the bottom of the sea, and pulls a corpse from the bottom of the sea, takes him up on the bank, breathes into him the breath of life and makes him alive.” If we confess and repent of our sins, and trust Jesus as our Savior, we may come “with full expectation to God’s open house of mercy”. The life that is truly life (I Timothy 6:19) is a result of God’s grace in Christ. Pastor Jim. Thank you to all the members that attended the Congregational Meeting. Everyone’s voice is valuable to help build a strong Christian church. May God bless this congregation as we continue to grow in all aspects of Christian faith.
