The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Romans 5:6-10, “For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.

7 For one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die.

8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

9 Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him.

10 For if while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having

been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.”

“Helpless” is a devastating situation. It indicates that nothing that can be done! Paul says that that is exactly where we are! Yet, at the “right time” – the exact time – Christ died for the ungodly. Mark it well that “the ungodly” includes the entire population of the world from the era of the Garden of Eden to the end of the world as we know it.

It was the Divine Love (?????, agape) of our Heavenly Father that initiated and merged with the Divine Love of His Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, who willingly became the Father’s Sacrifice for our sins. From the sacrifice of Abel in the Garden of Eden to the Sacrifice of Jesus, blood was required to satisfy the Father and stay His wrath.

Prior to Christ’s Sacrifice, mankind lived under the wrath of God. God’s own creation found reconciliation with Him throuh the shed blood of His Son. Prior to Christ’s death and resurrection, mankind lived at enmity with God. Now, all mankind can be reconciled through faith and be “rescued from a hazardous condition” through His life.

You are, therefore, not without help as before. Jesus’ Resurrection proves the power of His blood to satisfy the Father’s forgiveness. All you need do is admit your sin (i.e., repent) and believe (trust, and commit yourself) to Jesus for salvation! AT that point, the salvation of your soul will have never been in more Trusted Hands. God bless you!

Heartily in Christ Jesus,

(Dado III)
