Alive In Christ 2



Hello Everyone,
RICH IN MERCY - THAT’S GOD

4 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5 made us ALIVE with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved.
8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. 10 For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
God is both merciful and gracious. He is rich in mercy.
MERCY means we don’t get what we deserve, which is punishment. God is merciful.
GRACE means we get what we don’t deserve, which is salvation.                                  Someone said, “The two greatest words in the Bible are: BUT GOD.” Dead in sin, BUT GOD!
Christians boldly proclaim that GRACE really has little to do with us. Rather, GRACE is all about God and God freely giving to us the gifts of forgiveness, mercy, and love.
And God’s MERCY goes along with His GRACE.
Because of God’s GRACE or the fact that He is gracious, He is also rich in mercy and this is the path that leads to life which is truly life.
Greater Things Are Still To Come!
