Conclusion:

Dear child of God…Saint of God...born again Conqueror’s Class member… How Are YOU Identifying With The One Who First Loved YOU And Chose YOU To Be His Own?

How can we ever say “Thanks” unto God for all He has done for us??

By never forgetting the mercies of God and, with a grateful heart, choosing to present our bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is our reasonable service! (Romans 12:1)

How will you identify yourself in this world today, dear child of God??

‘Chosen and Grateful’ should be our theme for living in this world until our Lord one day calls us Home to be with Him!

Oh, dear child of God, will you be willing to do that today?? I hope you will…

Life In Christ…Chosen and Grateful…
