“But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.”‭‭Titus‬ ‭3:4-7‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,
This stands out because Paul says, “so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.” His Grace enables us to have eternal life. Can any bad news stand up to that good news? We have 2 things:1) this present moment and 2)a relationship w Jesus Christ. If we feel entitled to ANYTHING else, we may not be grateful for the Hope that we actually have. Please pray that we and our friends are grateful for the Grace that Christ has given us. Please pray for the men considering CLC.
