Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths. Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation ~ Psalm 25: 4-5

How He Loves Us

 

When I think of the goodness of Jesus, and all that He’s done for me, my soul cries out “Oh, Hallelujah, Thank God for saving me!”

I’ve just been impressed lately with how good God is… that sounds so simple but when I really stop to think it takes my breath away.

How good He is… there’s nothing I could ever have done to deserve His grace, but He gives it anyway.

Romans 5:6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

He died for the ungodly… that was me.  It goes on to say that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us. He didn’t die for us because we deserved it… because we were so good.  He died for us because we were lost without Him.

John 3:16-17 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. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

How good God is that when we deserved death He gave us life… and abundant life at that!
