and grace of God. God
riving us another chance.
h] Titus 3:3, Paul writes
"We used to be stupid, dis
obedient, and foolish, as
well as slaves of all sorts of
desires and pleasures. We
were evil and jealous.
Everyone hated us, and we
hated everyone." (CEV).
But to live this way is not

and loving and offers us
another cfiance. He oftfers
a new and fresh beginning
and the hope of eternal li(l(:
through His son Jesus. He
demonstrated His love and
kindness toward us by sav
ing us showing us mercy.
He saved us because of His
mercy and not because of
any good works or things
that we have done. (Eph—

deserved and he made us
acceptable to God. (Titus
3:4-7). Another chance:
Jesus came to rescue us
from death and hell and
He paid the price for our
sins %y dying on the cross.
Then God raised Him on
the third day from death
to life so tl?:at we could
have another chance. A
chance for a new life... A
chance to do right... A
chance to forgive and give
others another chance. Are
you ready for another
chance?
If you are ready for
another chance, please
rray the following prayer.
if you aready have another
chance, then be encour
aged and obey God.
"Dear heavenly Father, |
thank you for your love
and mercy. | thank you for
vour wil]ingncss to give
me another chance. |
thank you for sending
your Son Jesus to save me
from everything that is
evil. | accept Jesus as m
Lord and savior. ThanK
you for giving me hope
and another chance."
Amen.
