EDITORIAL Grace Grace, grace, God’s grace, Grace that will pardon and cleanse within; Grace, grace, God’s grace, Grace that is greater than all our sin (Published 1910, Julia H. Johnston) These are the Beautiful words of a song written by Julia H. Johnston now in the public domain but first published in 1910 which resonate the anchor of our salvation - Grace! The book of Romans declares “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23 NKJV This gift is as a result of the grace of God toward us His creation, an unmerited and undeserved fa- vor and acceptance displayed to- wards us in Christ simply because He loved us! Why? Because He purposely made us in His image, to rule with Him and even though we sinned, He has never turned His back on us or His purpose for cre- ating us. Even though we sinned and rejected Him, God continues to say there is no sin too hard for Him to forgive. There is no depth, height or spread that He will not go to redeem us. How appropriate the words of this song are – pardon, cleanse with- in, greater than any sin. Beloved, God’s grace is still available to you as long as you have breath and no matter how far you have fallen in sin, He assures you, like the prod- igal Father, that He still loves you. Come back to His open arms and live intake fullness of His grace Enjoy this month’s edition and go on to share the message of grace with a loved one and save a soul today. Happy and grace-filled reading. Sidney Koranteng - Editor
