A Word of Encouragement

Me - Circa Mid '60s

Grace, Hope & Peace, Friend;

The gospel - the good news - that Paul shared with the believers in Corinth was that "Jesus died for our sins as prophesied, He was buried and rose again just like the Scriptures said He would. Then He appeared to many of His followers." (1 Corinthians 15:1-7)

And last of all, as to one untimely born, He appeared to me also. For I am the least of the apostles, and not fit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me did not prove vain.
	1 Corinthians 15:8-10c

Whatever you may have done, God's grace is sufficient to save YOU!

Lovingkindness and truth have met together; Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.  Truth springs from the earth, and righteousness looks down from heaven.
	Psalm 85:10-11

God's love and His truth have joined together to reconcile us to Himself.

Adonai-Tsidenku - Lord our righteousness - thank You for saving me.

Therefore, my beloved brothers and sisters, be firm, immovable, always excelling in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
	1 Corinthians 15:58

His grace is not in vain,
