Then and Now

Though Grace was given to us before time began, it was not understood until Jesus Christ came into the world (2 Tim 1:10).

Before then we were focused on his Holiness and judgement, but now we experience his grace.

1. He has saved us from the bondage of separation from God.
2. He has abolished death giving us (our spiritual being) eternal life.
3. For the first time the world learned of life and immortality through the gospel of reconciliation.
4. Even the Gentiles were brought into this new family of Life in Christ Jesus.

All of this has been accomplished by God according to His purpose and His grace (2 Timothy 1:10-11).
