1 Peter 1:18-19 (NKJV) 18 knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.
As I sit here this morning, I’m thinking about and meditating on how I have received my freedom, my Salvation.
I can’t even imagine what our Lord must have been thinking as He was being abused and brutally beaten for me. I can not comprehend in my mind what He was going through as He gave His life for me.
He did not pay someone off with gold or silver, but He bought our freedom with His life.
There is no love more precious than that.
1 John 4:19 (NKJV) 19 We love Him because He first loved us.
My heart is in love with how He loved us first, even in our sinful condition. He loved us first and paid for our freedom with His life on that cross over 2000 years ago.
Will we live the righteous life that He has for us? Will we walk in His obedience and follow His way?
Only we can answer that.
Step by step, and day by day, let us grow close to Him.
James 4:8(NKJV) 8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
