But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them."<br /><br />Paul, in his letter to the Ephesians...Susannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16381272662339466736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-78675440931476932272010-03-29T06:35:45.493-07:002010-03-29T06:35:45.493-07:00"Last night I was in my lord Strathmore's...<i>"Last night I was in my lord Strathmore's company several hours, with several other honest gentlemen.

This is what we call "zombies". Seen from the first heaven, humans on Earth are very much like zombies. They are ambling around, constantly trying to regain the life they vaguely miss by taking it from others, while they gradually rot on their feet. When someone moves with purpose and shines with inner light, he stands out, as seen from above.<br /><br />Dear anonymous: Spiritual life can only be nurtured by Light, so why are you hiding in the dark?
