[Rev. Doc]

So Great A Change

"But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life."
Titus 3:4-7

Robert G. Lee shared the following:

The world that God created is full of wonders.

Salt for example is a wonder. It is composed of two poisonous substances: sodium and chlorine, either of which if taken individually could kill you. Yet when these two substances are combined they produce a substance called salt that is necessary for life.

Water is another wonder. It's chemical formula is H2O. That means two parts of hydrogen for each part oxygen. Oxygen is an oxidizer while hydrogen so readily burns that it can be explosive. Yet when hydrogen and oxygen are united into water you can use it to put out fires!

Yet the greatest wonder of all is the regeneration that takes place when one is saved. How God can take a poor, vile, hopeless sinner and transform him into a respectable person is the greatest wonder on this earth. Yet, it happens everyday. On the skid row of our cites, in the wealthy and poor homes, in jungles, in Chinese houseboats; in fact, whenever any soul will accept Christ, the wonder of the new birth is taking place. That's the real miracle of God's creation.

Prayer: Ask God to help you live daily the wondrous change that has taken place in your life.

"God never alters the robe of righteousness to fit the men, but the men to fit the robe."
