The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Romans 5:1-6, “Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

2 through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we exult in hope of the glory of God.

3 And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance;

4 and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope;

5 and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

6 For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.”

The sweetest possible words emanating from the mouth of a judge are the words: “not guilty!” Thereafter, peace and contentment reign freely within the human heart.

Simultaneous to our true and faithful confession of sin, the LORD, as Supreme Judge, declares us forgiven and free! The LORD Jesus Christ immediately becomes our Lord and Savior. Furthermore, He Himself delights in our joyful freedom!

Now, hope reigns within us, as we patiently and confidently await the trials and tribulations the adversary is certain to place challengingly in our pathway. Nevertheless, our confidence rests thoroughly in the LORD! The Holy Spirit’s presence is our preparation against every demonic attack. He is infinitely capable of protecting us. We need only to faithfully trust and rest in Him.

Do you have such confidence? Are you confident the Holy Spirit is residing within you? If you have faithfully trusted the LORD Jesus Christ as your Savior, you may rest assured that He is! If you have not trusted Jesus Christ as your Savior, you are totally devoid of any and all protection and thus, vulnerable to Satan’s sudden, vicious attacks. Commit your life to Christ Jesus today! Ask Him to forgive your sins and save you today! You will never regret this decision. I promise.

Heartily in Christ,
