The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

1 Corinthians 8:6-7a, “…for us there is but one God, the Father,

from whom are all things and we exist for Him; and one Lord,

Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we exist through Him.

7 However not all men have this knowledge…”

Anything that usurps God’s position as LORD is an idol. Satan

would have us to believe that he is god. He is not! Everything

we can see around us and things that are too small for us to see

–everything—has come from God. Implied in Paul’s teaching

are we ourselves. We have come from God, for we are part of

“all things.” Thus, we exist for God, the Father. Jesus Christ is

the Creator. He is the maker of all that we see and all that we

don’t see; and we exist through Him. Think of it like this: We

all have or have had pets. They exists for us. They do what we

say and go where we please. Yes, they have minds and instincts,

but we are their superior, so they mind what we say. As the

creation of God, we exist through Him and for Him. Yes, we have

minds and wills, too; but since He is our Master, we obey Him.

~ What is His intention for you? That is for you alone to discover

and to obey. Life is wonderful when you do what He intends! It

is horrible when you do not. Your choice!

Our love and prayers continue for each of you,
