The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
When Adam and Eve sinned, they set the human race on a path that we couldn’t come back from. Not without help.
But instead of leaving us in our sin, God did the unimaginable; He became human.
Not only did He become human, but He also lived a perfect life. And then, He was crucified as the sacrifice for our imperfect lives. He lived the life we were supposed to live and died the death that we were supposed to die.
He was tempted and tried, and yet He never sinned. “For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin” (Hebrews 4:15 NKJV).
Jesus died, and rose again, so all who received Him as their Savior could be saved and live with Him forever.
Because of Jesus’ sacrifice, we are adopted into God’s family. We are chosen and called Children of God. Because of Jesus, death isn’t the end. One day, we will again see our loved ones who died in Him. One day, all the pain and suffering will end. God will wipe the tears from our eyes and welcome us home.
All because of Jesus and His love. Let’s thank God for His love and amazing sacrifice today.
What are some ways I can express my gratitude to God for saving me?
Gracious, loving God, Thank You for sending Your Son Jesus to die for me. Thank You, Lord Jesus, for Your sacrifice. I love You, Lord Jesus. In Your name I pray, Amen.
