REFLECTION

 

To be at rights with God means having the right relationship with him. We must recognise firstly that the good things in our lives are ultimately his gift to us. The greatest gift of all is the gift of salvation, given to us through the gift of his Son, Jesus Christ. It is the realisation of this which saves us from pride and helps us to walk humbly and thankfully with our God. Secondly we recognise that our weakness and sin can only be overcome by the grace of God. The gift of salvation comes to us through reconciliation with him and with others.
