"GRACE" AND PEACE BE YOURS IN ABUNDANCE THROUGH
THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD AND OF JESUS OUR LORD.
( 2 PETER 1:2 *NIV )

Dear N276,
Did you ever wonder what is meant by God's Grace? Well,
"Grace" means the freely given, "unmerited favor and love
of GOD," given to HIS Children! Now, GOD DEMONSTRATES
HIS OWN LOVE FOR US IN THIS: WHILE WE WERE STILL
SINNERS, CHRIST DIED FOR US. ( ROMANS 5:8 )

Therefore: DEAR FRIENDS, SINCE GOD SO LOVED US,
WE ALSO OUGHT TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER. NO ONE HAS
EVER SEEN GOD; BUT IF WE LOVE ONE ANOTHER, GOD
LIVES IN US AND HIS LOVE IS MADE COMPLETE IN US.
( 1 JOHN 4:11-12 )

So always: LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR
HEART AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL AND WITH ALL YOUR
MIND AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH. ( MARK 12:30 ) After
all, HE showers us with more love than that every day.

Finally, I PRAY THAT YOU, BEING ROOTED AND
ESTABLISHED IN LOVE, MAY HAVE THE POWER,
TOGETHER WITH ALL THE SAINTS, TO GRASP HOW WIDE
AND LONG AND HIGH AND DEEP IS THE LOVE OF CHRIST,
AND TO KNOW THIS LOVE THAT SURPASSES KNOWLEDGE
THAT YOU MAY BE FILLED TO THE MEASURE OF ALL.
FULLNESS OF GOD! Amen. ( EPHESIANS 3:17-19 )

In HIS Love & Service,
Pastor Allen
