Daily Thoughts - We are an Easter People.
Dear Father, there is purpose in this life as You labor for us to come to know the depth of Your love for us. We are called as Christians to give what You give, love. Help us this day to live out our calling, to fulfill Your mission within us. Prayers for a friend at the end of his journey, may he receive You before departing this earthly vessel. Thank You for another day to live out our faith, Amen.
"After much debate had taken place, Peter got up and said to them, "My brothers, you are well aware that from early days God made his choice among you that through my mouth the Gentiles would hear the word of the gospel and believe. And God, who knows the heart, bore witness by granting them the holy Spirit just as he did us. He made no distinction between us and them, for by faith he purified their hearts. Why, then, are you now putting God to the test by placing on the shoulders of the disciples a yoke that neither our ancestors nor we have been able to bear? On the contrary, we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same way as they."" Acts 15:7-11
Are you saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus? Is there evidence?
" It is by the soul, enclosed within the body, that the body is held together, and similarly, it is by the Christians, detained in the world as in a prison, that the world is held together". -- From a letter to Diognetus
