Understanding Christianity

in Zechariah's "Benedictus" or song of blessing, he presents three crucial elements of the Christian message. Guilt, Grace, and Gratitude. First, we all stand guilty before our holy God in need of forgiveness of sins. Second, God overcomes this guilt with tender mercy in His sovereign grace through Jesus. Third, in light of our redemption from guilty by grace, we respond with a life of gratitude. We joyfully serve God without fear! www.seancole.net
