Grace

For God’s gifts and His call are irrevocable.

Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,

But now, for a brief moment, grace has come from the LORD our God to preserve for us a remnant and to give us a stake in His holy place. Even in our bondage, our God has given us new life and light to our eyes.

This is what the LORD says: “The people who survived the sword found favor in the wilderness when Israel went to find rest.”

Noah, however, found favor in the eyes of the LORD.
