ASLC Devotions - Friday

Ephesians 1:7-8

In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace that he lavished on us.

Wow! Cliff Notes for Lent; Cliff Notes for Christianity. The eponymous study guides were first published when I was a freshman in college. (I might have done better had I used them.) I can’t find one for the New Testament, but Paul published one for the church at Ephesus in the first century A.D. And it works for us today. We are redeemed through the Crucifixion; we are forgiven through his grace. That’s it. God loves us so much that he gave his only son so that everyone who believes in him will have eternal life.
