chaos bears witness to the resurrection life of Christ . A healthy life lived at the pace of grace is an evangelistic strategy . I suspect many in modern society are not rejecting the Jesus of Scripture but a poor representation of him . Friend , the God who heals us with grace is beautiful and life-giving . He wants us to share and live in his God-glorying life ( Romans 6:1-14 ; Galatians 2:20 ; Ephesians 3:14-21 ; Colossians 1:27 ). When you ’ re lit up with love , you are inviting people into a Jesussaturated , Jesus-immersed , Jesus-reliant life .
