There is hope. [ Ephesians 2 ]

Is it wrong to doubt?,the brain has a skull to protect it,we also use other things to protect our head, but what about the mind?,for it seems to me ,that our mind is continually coming under attack That attack comes from the world,the flesh and the devil,we should never be surprised ,yet we are  surprised.What chance does the unsaved have ?,the answer is very little,they are in love with darkness[ John 3v19], ,Jesus who is both light and holy ,was not only rejected,but crucified,that is how dark the human mind is,and John adds, because there deeds are evil.  Yet there is hope,as long as it is the day of grace there will always be hope,I love that old Wesley hymn,where he writes,/ Long my imprisoned spirit lay,fast bound in nature's night. Thine eye diffused a quickening ray, I woke, the dungeon flamed with light. My chains fell off,my heart was free,I rose, went forth, and followed Thee/. Where sin abounds,let us remember grace can much more abound,one of the most telling passages in the NT is Ephesians 2 ,the apostle Paul paints a dark picture of his readers former condition,they were dead in trespasses in sin,they were wordly,following Satans dark ways,they were children of disobedience,they were caught up and involved in the lusts of the flesh,there nature is described as that of a child of wrath.But a wonderful thing happened,a merciful,gracious, and loving God intervened.The result was they put their trust in Jesus who can save to the uttermost, from the gutter most.
A prayer..../ We rejoice God that with You there is always hope,because of Jesus Amen /
