Preparations

Yesterday I took back some tracts that I ha ordered through our church. They were Steps to Peace with God. They were a newer version that had wonderful verses in them but no pictures of the bridge that Jesus Christ provides. Have you seen those? The "man" side (sinful, hopeless, helpless depraved state) on one side and "God" side (explaining He who is holy, righteous, just) has to be separated from His fallen creation. The picture shows a great gulf that cannot be bridged by any attempt man may endeavor. Religon is a plank man may try to bridge that gap,which includes even reading the Bible and praying......truly good things! However, if you're counting on those things to make you right with God, that's not ENOUGH! (see John 5:39.) I absolutely love the picture where the cross is drawn bridging the gap between "man" side to "God" side.
John 5:24 "I (Jesus) tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life.

"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God not by works so that no one can boast."
Ephesians 2:8,9 "

We found these tracts with pictures! I ordered 500. Could you be praying about those who will be receiving them? The Holy Spirit can prepare "the soil of a heart" to understand and receive His truth.......Isn't it exciting to be a partner with our great God! What an honor to be His hands, feet, mouth.....for His glory!
