The After the fall Redemption
Friday, April 7, 2023
Rising in Grace
In the Lord we often feel the worst thing that can happen to us is that we fall. We should try to do everything possible to avoid falling. But we need to realize something else. When did redemption begin? Redemption only begins after the fall. That's when it all counts. We think we can relate to God as together people. We can't. We can only come to God in need of being saved (Acts 2:38) through grace. We never come because we've got it together. We come through mercy and grace. Salvation he given to us from the example in Acts 2:38 and grace only happens after the fall. In light of that, we only stand by grace and mercy. Sometimes we get so far away from grace; we think we are doing great, we are independent and self-sufficient. That's actually fallen right there. Sometimes the best thing that can happen is when we trip up on our face. Then we go back to the foot of Messiah at the cross. Because there is no salvation without it, and all salvation is only within it. The grace of God can only be known now, after the fall.

Today's Mission
Be grateful today for the Lord's grace and mercy. Thank Him for not leaving you where He found you, for picking you up from your fall. And if you fall... Rise up - That's what it's all about.

Joel 2:13
13 And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the Lord your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.
Change your life, not just your clothes. Come back to God, your God. And here’s why: God is kind and merciful. He takes a deep breath, puts up with a lot, This most patient God, extravagant in love, always ready to cancel catastrophe. Who knows? Maybe he’ll do it now, maybe he’ll turn around and show pity. Maybe, when all’s said and done, there’ll be blessings full and robust for your God!

HAVE A GOOD DAY AND WEEKEND!
