Hello Everyone,
ALIVE
IN CHRIST - THAT’S US
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. 6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, 7 in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.

I’m alive! I’m alive! We ALL can shout
these words. They are TRUE and they are true because of Jesus. He
is the One who gives life more abundant and free.
Because of His GREAT LOVE how great is God’s love for us?
William Whiting Borden (November 1, 1887 – April 9, 1913) was a Christian missionary to Egypt with Samuel Zwemer and the heir to the Borden, Inc. family fortune. William Borden was a graduate of Yale University in 1909 and of Princeton Theological Seminary. Borden was converted to Christianity under the ministry of Dwight L. Moody.
He later decided to become a missionary to the Muslims of China, but died of spinal meningitis in Egypt during his training there at the age of 25. After his death, Borden’s Bible was found and given to his parents.
In it they found in one place the words "No Reserve" and a date placing the note shortly after he renounced his fortune in favor of missions. At a later point, he had written "No Retreat", dated shortly after his father told he would never let him work in the company ever again. Shortly before he died in Egypt, he added the phrase "No Regrets."

"No reserve, no retreat, no regrets”
in following Jesus and in going to Egypt to do mission work leaving all the
riches that this world had to offer.
Why did William Borden do that? Why did he willingly give his life on foreign soil for others? Here’s another story and a question.
Philippians 2:5-8 “Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death— even death on a cross!”
The story is this: Jesus left His home in Heaven for earth for one purpose only. “To seek and to save the lost”.
Why did He do that?
