The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Romans 8:34-39, “Who will bring a charge against God’s elect? God is the one who justifies;
34 who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us.
35 Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 Just as it is written, “FOR YOUR SAKE WE ARE BEING PUT TO DEATH ALL DAY LONG; WE WERE CONSIDERED AS SHEEP TO BE SLAUGHTERED.”
37 But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us.
38 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,
39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

The United States Federal Election has concluded; and there is, as expected, serious disagreement among some as to who actually won. Such is the case of all elections! It would be easier to adjudicate if the matter did not involve the entire country. Yet, it does; and who knows how long it will be until the nation settles down?

Whatever ultimately occurs on the political scene, there will be no argument regarding the LORD and His people when the Final Spiritual Judgment is tallied. There will, of course, be many, who thought they would “win” due to their living that included multiple good works that accrued to the benefit of the less fortunate.

Some will lose because they were never privileged to know the truth that would have set them free. Others will lose, not because they neglected the needy, but because they ignored the truth that came to them packaged in the love of family and friends.

Still others possessed the Good News of Jesus themselves, but never shared Him with their neighbors or friends. Where are you and I in this election? It is probable that both of us are acquainted with several who need to embrace the Gospel of our LORD, Jesus Christ. There is an “election” coming! And it will not be for some public office; it will be for Eternity in either Heaven or Hell. Now, what are we going to do about that?

Heartily in Christ Jesus,
