Thank God—Sunday is almost here. We get to celebrate Jesus’ resurrection from the dead, again! In order to help us get ready for the church’s Sabbath worship, here are sweet words from Jonathan Edwards’ sermon, entitled, “The Grace of God.” . . .
“God has given even fallen man such a gift that He has left nothing for man to do that he may be happy but to receive what is given to him. Though he has sinned, God requires no amends to be made by him. He requires of him no restoration; if they will receive His Son from Him, He requires neither money nor price. Man is to do no penance in order to be forgiven. What God offers, He offers freely. God offers man eternal happiness upon far more gracious terms since he is fallen than before. Before, he had to do something himself for his happiness: he was to obey the law. But since he is fallen, God offers to save him for nothing, only if he will receive salvation as it is offered, that is, freely through Christ and by faith in Him."These are Pastor Mark J. Henninger's daily devotions. May God bless them to your heart. If you wish to have these sent directly to your email box, please contact me, at: MarkJHenninger@gmail.com
