Just A Few Of My Thoughts .. .

“For God has proved his love by giving us his greatest treasure, the gift of his Son. And since God freely offered him up as the sacrifice for us all, he certainly won’t withhold from us anything else he has to give. Who then would dare to accuse those whom God has chosen in love to be his? God himself is the judge who has issued his final verdict over them-‘Not guilty!’ Who then is left to condemn us? Certainly not Jesus, the Anointed One! For he gave his life for us, and even more than that, he has conquered death and is now risen, exalted, and enthroned by God at his right hand. So how could he possibly condemn us since he is continually praying for our triumph? Yet even in the midst of all these things, we triumph over them all, for God has made us to be more than conquerors, and his demonstrated love is our glorious victory over everything!” Romans 8:32-34, 37 TPT

So many times, in the midst of all our busy moments, we tend to forget, or at least take for granted, the incredible love our Heavenly Father has demonstrated for us. He has blessed us with his greatest treasure, the gift of his Son. This was and continues to be a sacrifice from both the Father and the Son, given freely to all that will simply say yes and truly seek Him.

In this passage the Apostle Paul is describing the triumph of God’s love. He is letting us know that in His love for us, God gave His only Son, nothing held back, in order that we might have, not only an eternal life with Him, but a life filled with His love and forgiveness here on earth. Because of this exceptional gift, as we accept Him, we are blessed with the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, for God has made us to be more than conquerors as we continue to seek Him in the asking.

Heavenly Father, help us to remember that in your love for us you gave your greatest treasure, the gift of your Son, and that upon our acceptance of Him, eternal life with You can be ours, and for that, we are eternally grateful.

In Christ Love
