Inheritance: Infinite Ocean of Grace for Which to be Thankful

God's Warth is Coming... Are You Ready?

You had better listen to the words of Jesus, “Not everyone who says to me Lord, Lord, shall enter, but he that does the will of my father in heaven.” If ye by the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the flesh, ye shall live. If you live after the flesh, you’ll die! The cross does not give us a minor shift or two with regard to a few of our ethical and religious values. The cross radically disrupts the very center and citadel of your life from self to Christ. And if the cross has not done that, YOU’RE NOT A CHRISTIAN! My Friend face it, young rogue, you’re not a Christian until the cross has radically disrupted the very center and citadel of your life! And brought you from a life of commitment to serve self…What are the focal points of the reign of your self? If you’ve gone to the cross in union with Christ, it’s been shattered!"

Infinite Ocean of Grace for Which to be Thankful

"Now, it is from this infinite ocean of grace that "God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not parish, but have everlasting life" John 3:16. Only an eternal, essential, fathomless, boundless ocean of grace could provide such a Savior, and such a salvation, and such a heaven from its all-sufficiency and freeness for poor, lost sinners! Truly, He is the "God of all grace." He that gave His only Son, beloved and precious, to suffer and die for His people, is surely prepared, from that sea of infinite grace, as freely and as fully, to give us all other things - from a crust of bread to the banquet of heaven; from a cup of cold water to the ocean fullness of joy that is in his presence and to the rivers of pleasures that are at His right hand."

Food for Thought

"The revelation made of Christ in the blessed Gospel is far more excellent, more glorious, and more filled with the rays of divine wisdom and goodness, than the whole creation and the just comprehension of it, if attainable, can contain or afford. Without the knowledge hereof, the mind of man, however priding itself in other inventions and discoveries, is wrapped up in darkness and confusion."
