Eph 2:4-5 Because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions-it is by grace you have been saved. Ephesians 1:7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace. —And Don’t Forget! — Titus 3:5 He saved us, not by the righteous deeds we had done, but according to His mercy. He washed away our sins, giving us a new birth & a new life through the Holy Spirit. 1 Peter 1:3 Blessed be the God & Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! By His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. — The Gift — A New life & A living hope! —This is the expectation that we should have! Our hope should be alive with great expectation! Our hope is in the resurrection of our Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ! It is “an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, & unfading, kept in heaven for us”! Hope is the one thing worth holding on to! Love Mel
