“The grace of the Lord was exceedingly abundant with faith and love which are in Christ Jesus” (I Tim. 1:14). The very moment we were birthed by the Holy Spirit and baptized into the body of Christ (I Cor. 12:13), we became new creatures in Christ (II Cor. 5:17). At the very moment of our birthing in Christ, we received at least 70 different things poured out from the big bucket of grace.
These are things we have or we are – by, in, and through Christ, who became our life, our only life.
