Deeper Life #350

And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.

—Ephesians 2:6

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST has the “any man” aspect; “whosoever will” may come to Him and find salvation. So many times we hear people say, “Those experiences are not for me. My past life has been so mean, so sordid, that surely God doesn’t mean me.” But God does mean you; He means by His marvelous grace and power to create Jesus Christ in you.

God makes no distinction between Jew or Gentile. Anyone may, at the Cross of Jesus, find forgiveness of sins and entire sanctification. God stoops to the very lowest, the very weakest—yes, to the “sons of disobedience”—and raises them up, if they will let Him.

Prayer Thought: O God, I know that Your marvelous grace is the secret to spiritual victory. Hallelujah!
