GOOD NEWS!



Weekend Gospel message to follow for All Hands (14-16FEB20)

Heads-Up --- Please find enclosed encouragement in SO GREAT SALVATION by the perfect and finished work of our Lord Jesus Christ in saving poor, needy and wretched sinners by His sovereign free grace -God's unmerited favor- from their sins and from Hell:

"Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, wherein He hath made us accepted in the beloved." -Ephesians 1:5-6 [KJV]

The resurrection of Christ indicated our acceptance with God. When God raised Him from the dead, He thereby gave testimony that He had accepted Christ’s work, but the acceptance of our Representative is the acceptance of ourselves. When the French ambassador was sent away from the Court of Prussia, it meant that war was declared, and when the ambassador was again received, peace was re-established. When Jesus was so accepted of God that He rose again from the dead, everyone of us who believe in Him was accepted of God too, for what was done to Jesus was, in effect, done to all the members of His mystical body. With Him are we crucified, with Him are we buried, with Him we rise again, and in His acceptance we are accepted.
