Ephesians 2:4-5

Even when we were eternally separated from God and dead in our sins, He loved us. So much so, that from the richness of His mercy and His unconditional love, God made us alive in Christ. Can there be a more beautiful truth? Despite our wickedness, and because He wishes for none to perish, God offers us salvation and the gift of eternal life. A gift free for us, but one that came at a very high cost to God. And all because He loves us with a love that surpasses all human comprehension, and one deeply rooted in grace and mercy. It’s because of His loving grace, that God reaches down and lifts us from the depths of spiritual separation. God’s divine love serves as the foundation of our faith, anchoring us securely in the assurance of His unmerited favor and undeserved kindness. It is this love that breathes life into the bones of our brokenness. And it is this love which fills us with the incomprehensible grace that bridges the gap between our imperfections and His perfect holiness.

Romans 5:8 

I’m thankful that even though I’m a sinner, Jesus died for me

Romans is my absolute favorite book in the Bible, and chapter 5 is one of the reasons why. To me it sums up the message of the gospel beautifully. Once we were helpless, dead in spirit, and enemies of God. But through the grace and mercy of the Lord, not only can we have peace with our Heavenly Father, we can rejoice in hope. Hope that one day we will spend eternity with Him. Once we lived in darkness, eternally separated by sin from God. But because of His great love, God refused to leave us in that hopeless condition. So He sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to provide reconciliation. Now, because of Christ’s death on the Cross, we are declared innocent and righteous before God. And through the blood of the Lamb, we become adopted sons and daughters in God’s family and heirs to His wonderful promises. And all of this is only possible through the amazing love God has for each and every one of us!

October 28th – Revelation 2:11

Revelation 2:11

God’ Promise – “Those who overcome will not be hurt by the second death.”

We will all die once in the flesh. Made from dust, our bodies will return to dust. And while non believers fear dying, Christians know the glory awaiting us. For never again will we be apart from God. In our new glorified bodies, we will dwell and reign with the Lord for eternity. But those who refuse God’s gift of pardon, will not only face one death, but a far worse second death. The second occurs when those who reject God will be cast into the lake of fire, and eternally separated from Him. Once this judgment has been pronounced there is no coming back. A judgement God wishes for no one. That’s why in His mercy, He gives all a chance to receive Jesus as their Savior. For as 2 Peter 2:9 tells us, “The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.”
