4 But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, 

5 that even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God’s grace that you have been saved!)

GRACE

Grace is God giving us what we need,

And cannot earn.

He overflows us with His grace.

He sufficiently covers us moment by moment.

Until we stand before Him in Glory.

God’s grace carries us from now unto eternity.

We will be with Him forever.

9 Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.

23 For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard.

NO

You are no longer in the bondage and the chains of sin. 

Christ has set you free.

In Him we are free indeed.

Claim your freedom.

Shout out to Jesus-Jesus free me from my habits.

Help me Lord, I am Your child.

Holy Spirit fill me with Your strength,

So that I will walk in the freedom of Jesus.

From their heart and genuinely want Jesus to save them.

Rewards are gifts for the way we live our life.

A Jesus focused life is our call.

A Jesus serving life is our answer.
