Now build a prayer strategy using these passages (and
others from this chapter) as a backdrop to remind yourself of
this truth every day for the rest of your life.
God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, that
even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave
us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by
grace that you have been saved!) For he raised us from
the dead along with Christ and seated us with him in the
heavenly realms because we are united with Christ Jesus.
(Eph. 2:4–6 NLT)I also clothed you with embroidered cloth and put
sandals of porpoise skin on your feet; and I wrapped you
with fine linen and covered you with silk. I adorned you
with ornaments, put bracelets on your hands and a
necklace around your neck. I also put a ring in your
nostril, earrings in your ears and a beautiful crown on
your head.... So you were exceedingly beautiful and
advanced to royalty. (Ezek. 16:10–13)
