1) Through Christ, we turn from sin to His grace, for forgiveness and mercy.
God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved). Now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ
(Eph 2:4-5, 13)
***
Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.
Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
(Heb 4:14,16)
***
Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
(Matt 11:28-29)
