Good morning, everyone, and welcome back to another morning's with the Master's, where we

devote ourselves to the Lord daily with you. Good morning, you guys. Good morning. Indeed,

we're picking up with day six of our renamed devotional in the Bible app. There's a link to that

in the description if you guys want to follow along with us. As always, I'm going to read the

scripture then towards going to pick with the Debo. Let's do it. The scripture is Ephesians chapter

God offers to make us right with him. God didn't offer this gift only to save us from our future

death. He also did this because he has a plan and a purpose for us while on this earth.
