Nic Doherty

Once dead in my trespasses until God made me alive together with Jesus, having forgiven me all my trespasses, by cancelling the record of debt that stood against me, nailing it to the cross.

Now I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.
