God, “In the exercise of His will He brought us forth by the word of truth, so that we would be a kind of firstfruits among His creatures.” This is God’s stupendous grace! “This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear [God’s’ voice], slow to speak and slow to anger [in order for you not to take control]; For the anger of man does not achieve the righteousness of God” (Jas 1:18-20).. The Apostle Paul agrees, “For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast” (Eph 2:8-9).
