This year for the Bible in Time blog will be a year-long reflection on “What it means to be a servant of Jesus Christ and a disciple in the modern world?” Ephesians 2:8-10 GOD’S WORD Translation (GW) God saved you through faith as an act of kindness.

With that, I will point you to resources of what others think. I will not even atte
