I'm Glad

Many years ago I heard about a preacher who didn't know how to read. Someone read scripture for him as he preached.

I'm glad we don't have to know how to read to know Christ or to be called to preach. We only have to believe in Jesus.

I'm glad we have personal access to God through His Word. People who have never received Jesus as their personal Savior can never grow in grace and knowledge of Him

Ephesians 2:4,5 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved).

I'm glad God gives us the resources for spiritual growth. The Spirit of God uses the Word of God to show us the life and divine nature of God.

I'm glad Jesus "quickened" me -- made me alive in Him. I'm glad I know who Jesus is. I'm glad to know His love and mercy and grace.
