For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
( John 3: 16 )(KJV)

Forever, our praises are to ascend to the Blessed Lord, who lifted us from the depths of sin and despair. We were part of the world of lost sinners, for which the Lord was slain. Our sins were those which helped nail the hands and feet of our Savior to the old rugged cross. The nails were not what held Him on the tree, it was His marvelous love for you and I.

Jesus took the curse upon His brow, and with His body, was willing to pay sin's cost. His atonement is the only means by which the gap between God and man, caused by sin, could be bridged. Only the Savior could provide a way for sinful man to be reconciled back to a holy God. Only the blood of Jesus gives us strength each day, and will never lose its power.

His love lifted us from the hold of the world to God's grip of grace, in which we could be secure. In Him alone, we have peace, joy, and find true love. There is no other who could make us free, except our Savior and Lord. His Word is a love letter to us which was given for all eternity.

His love is so faithful and true. He was willing to give up His royalty in heaven to become part of the human race as a man, and yet, was God in the flesh. Only He, who had sinless flesh, could be a perfect sacrifice to take our place and pay the debt of sin we owed, which we could not pay. One perfect Lamb was given that we might have eternal life. His blood is the only righteous blood, and by His sacrifice, we are redeemed and made free.

When we think of His death on Calvary's cross, we think of the world's greatest love. Only the love of God is able to reach down and rescue souls who are sinking in sin. Because of Him, we are lifted out of sin to sit with the Savior in heavenly places. Our hope is built on nothing less, than Jesus and His faithfulness. Everything else is sinking sand, except the God of our salvation, the Solid Rock on which we stand.

Give Him thanks today for a love which lifts souls out of the pit and writes their name in the palace of heaven. Until the day He calls us home, we shall forever give praise for His precious blood shed for us and for His great love.

Blessings In Christ,

[ 12 ] ~~ Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the LORD thy God shall keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers:
[ 13 ] ~~ And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee.
[ 14 ] ~~ Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle.
( Deuteronomy 7:12-14 )(KJV)
