But God,

These 2 words are the most beautiful words in the Bible. Paul in his epistles often writes of his former life. He tells the recipients of his letters that once he was a persecutor of Christians, he was the Jew of all Jews; nonetheless, he was not living in Christ. But God, who is rich in mercy, called Paul to preach the word to the Gentiles. In Gods grace we are made whole, no sin has a grip on us. It is by Gods grace that we are called out of this world to be of Christ not what we can do.

I was once lost in sins, a slave to the world, BUT GOD "Called me by His grace".
