Made Us Alive With Christ
Ephesians 2:4-5

Ephesians 2:4-5 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 our trespasses. It is by grace you have been saved!
God loves you deeply and is rich in mercy. These verses remind us that His mercy is abundant and undeserved. We see the greatness of His love and mercy through Jesus Christ, who died for us even while we were dead in our trespasses and trapped in sin.
God saved us by His grace, not because of anything we could do to earn it. We cannot save ourselves through good works or human effort. Salvation comes through faith in Jesus Christ and His finished work on the cross for our sins.
By His grace, God made us alive together with Christ and rescued us from spiritual death and eternal separation from Him. This new life is a gift from God.
Take a moment today to meditate on this truth. Remember how great God’s love is for you, how rich He is in mercy, and how completely His grace has changed your life. ~ Jeff M Newman

Observe Jesus’ Commands
When you host a dinner invite those that cannot repay you, the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind.
Luke 14:12-14 Then Jesus said to the man who had invited Him, “When you host a dinner or a banquet, do not invite your friends or brothers or relatives or rich neighbors. Otherwise, they may invite you in return, and you will be repaid. 13 But when you host a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind, 14 and you will be blessed. Since they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.” (Luke 14:21)
