The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God” (Psalm 14:1).  Indeed, there is a God…the only true God of the Bible.  And God laid out “The Plan of the Ages” before His great creation of all that is…a plan that called for the reclamation of lost and foolish sinners from the wages of their sin through the death and resurrection of God, the Son in human flesh…eternal salvation offered to all, full and free, by grace through faith in Him…Jesus.

 

Romans 3:23 & 6:23

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God…For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

 

Ephesians 2:4-9

4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved ), 6 and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; 9 not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.

 

John 12:25 (NLT)

Those who love their life in this world will lose it. Those who care nothing for their life in this world will keep it for eternity.

 

“He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.” ~ Jim Elliot

 

The Lord bless you and keep you…
