Because of God we are in relationship with Christ Jesus. We need
always, if we are True Believers, to remember this. Everything we have and are
is because of God. God is in control of our lives. Whatever our situation, God
is in control and other people should not be. This is something every True
Believer needs to hold on to. We all live by the Grace of God.
