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.”

The Apostle Paul never misses! Had he been an athlete, say in baseball, he would have been
awarded the Grand Prize for the most “hits and homers” in every season of the game.

With the blessings of the LORD attending, however, and despite our helplessness, Paul (and all of us), are potentially the recipients of the Grace of God. Jesus died for the ungodly; and that includes all of us. His love was more than that of Elizabeth Barrett Browning who wrote, “How do I love Thee? Let me count the ways.” As earnestly as she cared for her ill husband, Robert, she never died for him or for any of us. Only Jesus did!

The “reconciliation” of which the Apostle Paul wrote, comes to us through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Jesus’ death proves His love for us, and His Son’s resurrection proves the His Father’s love for us and for Him! How could anyone ignore that kind of Love?
We should live in a perpetual state of praise! And we do when we live by His Life!

Are you living within His perpetual praise? If not, you can. Simply genuinely tell the LORD that
you are truly sorry for your sins and ask His forgiveness. It’s a simple confession. He takes
everything from there. God bless you!

Heartily in Christ Jesus,

(Dado III)
