The grace of God:
I was dead in my trespasses and sins; He has made me alive--born again--in Christ. "He who believes in me will never die."
I was clothed in the filthy rags of human righteousness; He has clothed me in His own perfect righteousness "faultless to stand before the throne."
I was hostile toward the things of God, an enemy of the cross: He has transferred me out of the kingdom of darkness and into His kingdom--now a soldier of the cross.
I was chained to sin thinking I was free; He has broken those chains and freed me to live for Him, to follow the illuminating lamp of the truth of His Word.
I was, deservedly, a target of His wrath; He has made me a "target" of His inescapable love, condemnation free.
I was a bearer of the image of God marred by sin; He has filled me with His Spirit that I might be restored to His likeness--when I see Him, I will be like Him--glorified.
I was a slave to Satan, powerless to escape his will to destroy me eternally; He has redeemed me with His own blood, purchased me to be His own, adopted me into His family, a child of God forever more.

"Amazing grace how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me."
