✦ MADE SIMPLE

Here's the deal: one person's mistake let death take over everything. But if that's how powerful one bad choice was, imagine how much more powerful God's grace is. Everyone who receives his incredible grace and the gift of being made right with God gets to reign in life through Jesus Christ.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

If one person's mess-up could bring death, God's grace through Jesus brings so much more life.

Everyone was completely blown away by God's incredible power. But while they were all still processing everything Jesus had just done, he turned to his disciples and said,

Revelation 15:3

And they're singing two songs together — the song of Moses (God's faithful servant) and the song of the Lamb — declaring: 'Your works are incredible and amazing, Lord God Almighty. Everything you do is fair and true, you who reign over all your people.'

And you need to understand just how incredible his power is for those of us who believe — we're talking about the same mighty power that's actively working in our lives.
