The Winds of Grace

Continuing our preaching series from Ephesians, Guidance Kandemiiri teaches that when we are exposed to the holiness of God, we realise how sinful we really are, and that only Jesus can redeem us and reconcile us to the Father.Mercy rescues us from death, and grace lifts us up into a new status as alive in God.Ephesians 2: 3 - 8 (NIV)All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath. 4 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 transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. 6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, 7 in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.
