God Who Loves Us!

For Saturday, August 17, 2024:

Revelation 1:5 NLT: “Jesus Christ is the faithful witness to these things, the first to rise from the dead, and the ruler of all the kings of the world. All glory to him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by shedding his blood for us.

Our triune God is the one who was, who is and who is to come. Our God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit – is past, present and future. Jesus was the first to rise from the dead, showing us the way to glory. His blood sacrifice covered our sins, thereby cleansing believers and making us suitable for heavenly residence.

Think about it: Christ died for us while we were still sinners, so apparently rescue is more important than retribution. God granting second chances takes precedence over judgement. Saving souls is better than letting them wither and die.

We worship and give praise and thanks to the one who freed us from the bondage of sin!
