But, because of His great love for us, God, Who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions- it is by grace you have been saved.
In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace which He lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding.
To Him Who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before Hs glorious presence without fault and with great joy- to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power, and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen!
We believe that Jesu died and rose again and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in Him.
It is not to angels that He has subjected the world to come, about which we are speaking.
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.
We live by faith, not by sight.
Not only is this so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ through Whom we have now received reconciliation.
