THE GRACE
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
One thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy name!
But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.
Not only is this so, but we rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through Whom we have now received reconciliation.
But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.
Because He Himself suffered when He was tempted, He is able to help those who are being tempted.
This salvation, which was first announced by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard him.
God also testified to it by signs, wonders and various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to His will.
In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days He has spoken to us by His Son, Whom He appointed heir of allthings, and through Whom He made the universe.
