Dear Church this is my fourth letter to you,

Grace and peace be upon you. It is with a heart filled with love and concern that I write to you today.

First and foremost, I rejoice in the faithfulness of your hearts, your commitment to the Gospel, and your love for one another. Your fellowship and dedication to the teachings of our Lord bring immense joy to my heart.

However, I must also address a matter of great importance, a matter that has troubled my spirit. Some among you have been led astray by false teachings, falling into the trap of legalism. Know this, dear friends: our salvation is not earned through adherence to the law, but solely through the abundant grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.

The love that Christ has shown us is beyond measure. It is a love that extends to the sinners, the broken, and the lost. To love as Christ loves is to extend grace and forgiveness freely, without judgment, for it is by this love that all people will know we are His disciples.

I implore you, my Church family, to live in the Spirit of grace, rejecting legalism in all its forms. Let your righteous living be an outpouring of gratitude for the immeasurable gift of salvation, rather than an attempt to earn it.

For those among you who are struggling, I encourage you to persevere and remain steadfast in the teachings of our Lord. His way is easy, and His burden is light. In the midst of trials, cling to His promises, for they are sure.

Remember this: we are living in the Kingdom now. Do not waste your days waiting for His return; instead, be diligent in seeking and being more like Christ to the world around you. Share His love, mercy, and grace.

In conclusion, know that my love for you is boundless. I pray that you will continue to grow in faith and love, steadfast in the Gospel of grace. May the peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you always.

Grace to you,

Ryan Nelson
