Ann Arbor Blue (for All University Of Michigan Fans)

Here is how it happens. When the Spirit of God works savingly through the Word of God in a person’s life, God regenerates the heart (i.e., He gives him new birth), making him a new creation. As a new creation this newborn Christian recognizes his sin and turns to God for forgiveness. God enables Him to believe the Word. This is always the case (John 6:37). This belief is what God uses to bind or unite someone to Christ. It is through this union that we then experience the benefits of Christ’s work. We are considered righteous because we are now able to inherit Christ’s righteousness. It is imputed to us or considered effective in our life. We are not just innocent, but positively righteous. Moreover, since Christ is life (John 14:6), once we are united to Christ, we inherit abundant, eternal life from Him (John 6:39-40).

Liquefy in blender:  Phillip Graebing wrote that he had lost his
blueberry recipes. I have  a cookbook called "The Blueberry Connection"
- 209 pages of nothing  but blueberry recipes. Being it's that time of
the year, hopefully  some of the following will refresh Phillip's files
Serve about 1/3 blueberry blend with 1/3 white wine and 1/3 crushed
ice. Top with sprig of mint.  "It is said that the Indians used the
blueberry as an anti-spasmodic  to ease the pain of childbirth. This
remedy was later adopted by many  of the early settlers."  Posted to

Obedience is the fruit of the new birth. When a person has accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior, then God expects something of that person who is now His son. He expects us to be surrendered. He expects us to abide in His love. He expects us to constantly abide in His love. As we do, God changes us. Christianity is a lifelong process of growing from glory to glory into the image of Christ. We are never going to be finished, until we get to Heaven. Until then, when we yield, when we surrender, when we abide, the natural result of that is going to be fruit. The natural result of a branch yielded to the Vine is a changed life, a fruitful life.
