Victory over death.

The wages of sin is death. Romans 6:23a What a horrible consequence entered humanity when Adam and Eve sinned. We know we are no better than they since everyhone of us who lives expects that some day we will die. Proof also that we all have sinned. We may live like we are going to be here forever but reality hits us from time to time when someone we know, love and care about dies. I am so grateful for the second part of Romans 6:23. "the gift of God is eternal life". Theresa Salazar, Sabrina Garzas' mom(our Youth Pastor Joels' wife) received that wonderful gift and has entered into eternity with the Lord. Their sense of loss is accompanied by a clear sense of victory because of her faith in Jesus Christ as savior and Lord. I say with Paul, "thanks be to God who gives us the victory over death" Joel and Sabrina all of ALC is praying for you and your family. Thank you for your testimony of faith.
