God, through his only Son Jesus Christ, did something that no person would ever be willing to do.
Christ died for us – for me – while we were still sinners…
While we were enemies with Him, he took our punishment.
While we were living in willful disobedience to Him, he willingly gave of Himself for us.
In doing this, God shows his love, the essence of who He is!
He was and is motivated by love for His people.
How I wish everyone in this world that we live in would open their eyes and see this!
His death for ME while I was stuck in my sin shows me that there is absolutely nothing that I have done to earn God’s love and forgiveness.
Christ died for me while I was a sinner, unworthy and undeserving.
My salvation is a result of God’s love, NOT my own merit.
This motivates me to live fully, completely, and wholly for Him.
It also inspires me to share my story with you. My story of salvation and grace, of love and acceptance, given freely as a gift from God, yet all unearned and undeserved.
Christ died for us.
Christ died for me.
Christ died for you.
While we…I…you…were still sinners.
Does knowing this move you?
Does it motivate you?
Does it inspire you?
If it does, let’s do something about that…
Let’s live for Him today.
Let’s share our story so that others may know.

That thought is still so hard for me to wrap my brain around, that the God of the universe would die for me, a sinner. So thankful that He did.
