The amazing gospel of the grace of Christ.

He takes the worst of us and sets us on high with himself, having received unearned, unmerited favor and righteousness because of Jesus’ finished and perfect work on the cross.

We will forever rejoice and thank him throughout all eternity which will take that long for God to show us the riches of his great grace in his kindness towards us from the best of us to the worst of us (Eph. 2:7-9).

If God can save me then He can save anyone.

Over the years people in forums have sarcastically spouted off how special I must think myself to be saved but I tend to reply it’s Christ who is special, not me.

Though I have on occasion had to resist replying in kind, snarkily, that it is they who must be so special for Christ died and rose for them too and they feel they’ve the privilege to reject the gift offered just because ... and that the redeemed are actually the ones who realize that they aren’t so special. But knowing that they reject even the first principal in that, that He is the one who did in fact go to the cross for us, it seems like it would not just fall on deaf ears but might help harden them even more. So I don’t.
