The Biggest Gift

Salvation, the most amazing gift deserves your greatest praise and thanksgiving to God.

Salvation is this amazing gift from God, made available to all men. God could have sent an angel to die on the cross and ransom us from our sins and that would have been enough. But in order to show his love for us, he sent his own Son. In order to show his heart and desire for us, he paid the highest price he could have, which is literally giving himself. God has showed us this absolutely insane love by loving us even before we loved him. He sacrificed himself even though he knew many would reject him. I am convinced that he would have made the same sacrifice even if it meant saving only one person.

When Jesus died on the cross, he did not die to save those who are good.

He died to save those who have been estranged from God. Yes I know, you’ve done a lot of good in your life. You’ve helped others when you could, you don’t lie, and neither do you mistreat or cheat others, but do you think that puts you in the good favors of God. Your own efforts does not put you in God’s good book. If that was the case, Jesus did not need to die. The truth is, only perfection is allowed into God’s presence. The prophet Isaiah stepped into the presence of God and bit the dust. He saw God’s perfection and cried out, “I am a man of unclean lips.” When you see perfection, there is nothing in us that compares. And that is why God sent his perfect Son. His death allows us to walk in the grace of God as though we were perfect.

This amazing gift of Salvation gives us access to the throne room of God.

And though we’re not perfect, we can boldly approach the throne of God has though we are the sons of God. Actually the Apostle Paul says it this way, the Spirit of God in our lives bears witness with our spirit, making us sons of God. It was God’s pleasure to adopt us into his family. It is his pleasure to draw us close and make us sons.

My friends, rejoice and thank God in prayer and songs of thanksgiving. Let your life be a bold statement of thanksgiving for what God has done.

I Love You Lord because you loved me first.
