Words of Encouragement

 

January - 13 - 2008

 

The price has been paid. The ransom is provided. God's judgment was averted, not because of anything we did to appease him, but by his own sacrifice of Jesus for our sins. If God has gone to such great links to reconcile us to himself and adopt us into his family, how can we refuse? We must not! Father God, we offer you our hearts!

The Scripture reading for today is from 2 Corinthians 5:18-20.

18 Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ, and gave us the ministry of reconciliation,
19 namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
20 Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were entreating through us; we beg you on behalf of christ, be reconciled to God.

Let us pray.

O Gracious God, we know our sins have broken Your heart and offended Your holiness. Words, therefore, cannot communicate our thankfulness to You. You were hurt by our sins and yet provided a sacrifice to redeem us from it and reconcile us back to You. We praise You for Your grace, thank You for Your love, and promise to share Your mercy.

Through Jesus our sacrifice we pray.

Amen.
