“BUT GOD”, when viewed in relation to life’s challenges is what up is to down, life is to death, victory is to defeat, in is to out, or success is to failure!  Ephesians 2:1-6 tells us we were all dead in sin, and under the influences of the world and flesh. By nature, we were Satan’s offspring and on a collision course with destruction.  “BUT GOD”, who is rich in mercy and who loves us with great love; Made us alive, Raised us up, Seated us with Christ.
