Donated Blood

I had put up my name on one of the facebook groups- Nage Blog, as a blood donor, in the list maintained by the members of the group.

I got a call in the afternoon today by a person who got hold of that list. went to civil hospital in the evening and donated 350 ml of blood.

The patient is serious and in a unconscious state since yesterday. She needs platelets found inside the blood to boost her immune system. The blood group was O+ which matched that of mine.
 Was informed she requires it more than 2-3 units a day.

Am glad i could of help and its my prayer that she will get the required number of blood platelets enough to recover to good health.

The Grace of God

G - God's
R - Riches
A - At
C- Christ's
E- Expense

Grace is simply 'God's unmerited favor towards you.' His grace gives you kindness though undeserved. He has riches for you. His riches will satisfy your deepest needs.

Like every good thing, His riches comes with a price. Fortunately, it's a price which you don't you have to pay. He has paid it himself. Christ was hanged on a cross as a price of all God's riches for you.

The only thing you have to do it is receive it. Just like you would receive a gift from your loved ones, you can receive God's gift.
Grace is the most expensive thing you can have in your whole life, all free!

Adam sinned! Why am i called a sinner?

"Adam sinned! Why am i called a sinner?"

 If that's the case, i might as well ask, "Why do i have my father's personality and my grandfather's nose?"

On a more serious note,  Adam was the only one in all of God's creation who directly derived his life from God. God breathed on the body made of dust and then it became a living being.

So, Adam got the nature of God because he came directly from Him.

Now, on that basis, whoever comes from Adam directly would have the same nature he had. 

When he sinned, he received the nature of sin and it passed on to the next generation and to the next and finally it reached me and you, which will be passed onto our next generation.

For the sake of argument, imagine if Cain and Abel was born before Adam sinned. Then, they woulld have received a nature without sin. Their descendents would have been different from that of their father, Adam, i.e without sin.

Now, apart from Adam, do you know anyone else who came directly from God? Yes, there was one. Jesus, as a son of man, was the second Adam to come directly from God. 
Therefore, he received not a nature of sin but that of God.
