The work of redemption which God started by sending His beloved Son down to earth, is a work of love and grace, making possible for all mankind the salvation of their souls. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved.” John 3: 16-17.

Jesus Himself said that God’s grace is worth far more than all the riches and treasures of this world Matthew16:26. This healing grace is there for all, but it is up to us to acknowledge and accept it. The Apostle John testified to this: “And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” John 1:14. When this grace is properly acknowledged and accepted with a repentant heart, its wonderful effects can be seen in words and deeds. There is only one way to recognize the truth, free ourselves from sin and accept salvation through God’s beloved Son. This is why Jesus said: “For if ye believe not that I am He, ye shall die in your sins:” John 8:24. The Apostle Peter also said: “For there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” Acts 4:12. When the spirit of love and mercy corrects, it is not because He wants to cause fear and terror, but because He wants to help us. Correction leads us to peace, not suffering. He wants us to be happy.

Blessed are those who acknowledge and accept the grace God is offering. “To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” 2 Corinthians 5:19-21. Such an experience makes us happy and grateful, because it gives us the strength to give up that which is bad for us, making us just and kind.

Bad company and conduct tend to degrade us. Alone it is difficult to rid ourselves of bad habits.

May all those who have been led by God’s love to the house of His Son, accept God’s healing grace. Blessed are those, who can truly say: “Lord, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.” Psalm 26:8.
