The salutation at mgpc this morning went something like this:
“To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at the Mount Gambier Presbyterian Church, with the overseers and deacons: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
We give thanks to God the Father, who by the power of the Holy Spirit, applying the finished work of the Lord Jesus Christ has beatified each and every one of you who has by faith received His grace.
We give thanks that we are all received equally and fully in the Father’s presence, not entering and leaving, but fully acceptable before Him at all times because Jesus has made a way into the holy of holies, because Jesus is that entry way through which we have come and by which we abide before God accepted as righteous in His sight.
We give thanks that our prayers are all equally and fully received because they are offered in the matchless name of Jesus.
Thanks be to God.”
