Speaker: Tony Murphy
READ 2 Corinthians 6v1,2
In this short message Tony shared the bedrock of a new season, God’s grace and God’s salvation
Paul writes, “I tell you, now is the time of God’s favor (grace), now is the day of salvation” v2
Grace is defined as God’s unconditional love and favour shown to us, demonstrated by the cross, “When we were still sinners Christ died for us.” This shows that he loves us as we were then, he loves us as we are now.It is not dependent on us, but on him. As we get that into our heart and soul, that is when we begin to fly.
This is the one thing we need to be sure of going into a new season, for from this sure foundation will grow a right relationship with God, a relationship on which we can build.
From this we can know the fullness of his salvation (forgiveness, liberation, restoration, healing, deliverance, rescue, release and wellbeing) for us.
