What a great salvation...

An excellent word from a recent sermon at church. (<----- click here for a listen.)

God is the one that has rescued his people. He has lavished his kindness upon us. He is tender towards us, even in our sin. God has made you and me, all those in Christ, he has made us alive. This life that has flowed into our death is by God's grace, beginning to end. Those who are in him, whatever Christ has experienced, is also true of us, who are in Christ. We are no longer children of wrath, but are raised in Him. We are like signs or photographs that point to the riches of the grace that is in Christ, for all creation to see, not only now, but for future generations. God is at the center of this picture that makes sense of our lives. Why? Because of God's mercy, love, and grace. See the one who has acted to make you alive!! (Chad Lewis on -Eph 2:1-10-)
