The Christian does not think God will love us because we are good said, C. S. Lewis, who went on to say, but that God will make us good because He loves us. And He does it from the inside out, and will stick with us till He’s finished. We’ve begun a study in Hebrews with its focus on Jesus. Last time we were reminded of the importance of having a heart for the Lord and His word. And pastor Ed continues with more on this critical issue.

While that line from the old Hymn is true, it’s not the only reason we face difficulty! We’ve just begun a study in Hebrews with a theme of Jesus being so much better than religion. He’s the substance as opposed to the shadow. He reveals what God has for us. And if we’ll hear and heed His Word, it will save us a great deal of pain and heartache.

But you’ll want to make sure you point them to one who can really help. That’s Jesus, of course! We’ve just begun a study in Hebrews, and if you’ll recall its theme is Jesus is better than religion. He’s the substance as opposed to the shadow.

However, too many have settled for the shadow and don’t realize it. We’re starting the book of Hebrews today, that speaks of shadows verses substance. The new covenant verses the old. Jesus verses religion. And it begs the question which is better and to be pursued?

We see evidence of that in the suicide rate, or even just on the looks on people’s faces when their masks are off. But it’s a golden opportunity for the church to rise up and walk by faith. Nehemiah and the elders we’ll read about, are a good example of this.

From a virus that’s made its way around the world, to government restrictions and lockdowns, and an election that has left many frustrated or discouraged. But when you stop to consider the Bible said it would be this way in the last days, your perspective can change from freaking out to a calm trust in the Lord. Today on Abounding Grace we’ll share a special message from Pastor Ed Taylor delivered just a few weeks ago. He believes this is the time for the church to rise up!

In other words, one who is saved by faith demonstrates that faith by a changed life. We’ll hear more about that on today’s Abounding Grace with Pastor Ed Taylor. We’ve been in a series entitled, With. And today from John chapter ten we’ll hear of ten things that characterize a genuine believer.

He wants to provide assurance to His beloved sheep. You can have that assurance and we’ll explain why on today’s Abounding Grace with Pastor Ed Taylor. We find that assurance from none other than the words of Jesus recorded for us in the gospels.
