are you

saved.

You see, our salvation, it's free.

The forgiveness we receive, it's a free gift.

But it's not cheap.

It cost God his son.

That's why on the cross he cried out.

grace, grace, grace.

Now, this morning at half nine, I shared with you, um, Jeremiah 33, so if you want to look that up or if you've got your electronic version on your Bible, then just keep, keep note of that because I wanna refer to that.

Let me just read the first few verses.

"Moreover, the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah a second time while he was still shut up in the court of the prison, saying, 'Thus says the Lord who made it, the Lord who formed it to establish it, the Lord is His name: "Call to Me, and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know."'" Amen.

Right away, we see God invites you and I to call on Him in prayer, and He promises cleansing hope.

Even in our darkest hour when we seem to be going through life with various circumstances that we don't appear to understand, we need to remember, and always remember, because it is the anchor of our faith, that salvation belongs to the Lord.

Amen.

Come on.

We're not moaning and gro- groaning and thinking, "Oh, life is awful." I enjoy my life.
