Hook: If you found out you were going to die next week and were asked to write a letter to someone you love, what would you say?

I. THE GLORIOUS CHAIN
“God does not give us all we might like, but all that we need for life and godliness…these gifts are enshrined in Jesus Christ himself, and in getting to know him, we enjoy the power to live a holy life.” - Michael Green

II. A SKETCH OF EFFORT
“…consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.” - Romans 6.11

III. THE DANGER OF FORGETTING
“It is really only those things to which we are indifferent, and which we can thus shove to the very peripheries of our minds as irrelevant, which we are able to forget.” - Carl Trueman
