There are some things we cannot live without such as making a living, food, water and shelter We can add to the list such things as love, fr iendship & ser vice In our relationship with God, there are three things we definitely cannot live without Let’s call them “God’s GPS” as follows:
G - Grace
The grace of God is the most visible sign of God’s love Many of us can say with Apostle Paul “But by the grace of God, I am what I am ” (I Cor inthians 15:10) Grace has been defined as unmer ited favor and mercy We are saved by grace (Ephesians 2:5), strengthened by grace (2 Cor inthians 12:9) and empowered by grace (Acts 4:33) With the hymn wr iter John Newton we can sing, “Through many dangers, toils, and snares we have already come ‘Twas grace that brought us safe thus far and grace will lead us home ”
P - Pardon
Jesus was the pardon God sent for our sins In Psalm 55:7 we read, “Let the wicked forsake their way and the evil man his thoughts Let him tur n to the Lord, and he will have mercy on him, and to our God, for he will freely pardon
S - Salvation
The pardon (forgiveness) of God leads to personal salvation In John 3:16 we read, “For God so loved the wor ld he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not per ish but have eter nal life ” Salvation, or new bir th, is only the beginning of a life time of growth and ser vice We have heard it said, “We are saved to ser ve ” When we exper ience God’s grace, pardon and salvation, we will have ever ything we need for a meaningful life
When you find yourself facing the loss of a loved one ... we can assist in making the details you face a little e a s i e r To p l a c e yo u r o b i t u a r y announcement on our community pages, simply ask the funeral home to send the details to the Community Shoppers Guide or call/email us yourself Obituar ies are approximately $75 and are included in our online edition and on our website
