In this frightful state God, who is rich in mercy and filled with great love, lets down a rope which man can grasp, and he is raised up from an otherwise hopeless condition. He must be reconciled to God, and the death of His Son makes this possible. By faith in that tremendous act of history, the most momentous thing which has ever occurred in the annals of this world, man is restored to a proper relationship with God. He becomes a part of the new humanity. He is a new creation.
Old things pass away.
All things become new. He is at peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. He stands in the grace of God. He rejoices in the hope of the glory of God. And everything falls into proper perspective.
