 I read recently that the greeting card industry is around $7 billion a year in the United States. That's a lot of birthday cards and get well cards. All those cards do at least three things. They wish us well, of course, but they might also contain a gift besides just the words. And finally, they remind us of the people with whom we belong. Our text today does those three things and more. Paul speaks of the power of God's words of grace.
