What's Changed?
Earlier we were reading words about us, like: alienated, enemies, separation, punishment, everlasting destruction, death, fire, hell.
Now we've read words like: Jesus Christ, God's love, gift, eternal life, mercy, grace, alive, kindness, righteousness of God. |
What's Different?
Because of God's great love for the world (that includes us) and because of His mercy (not wanting anyone to perish in hell) God graciously and lovingly gave us Jesus Christ, His Son, who willingly took our sin upon Himself and suffered and died in our place on the cross and rose from the dead, so we might become righteous in God's eyes and receive the gift of eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
