'but because of His great love for us,God,who is rich in mercy,made us alive even when we were dead in transgressions-it is by grace you have been saved.And God who raised us up with Christ and seated us with him the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,in order that in the coming ages he migh show the incomparable riches of his grace,expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus' ephesians 2:4-7
'And you were also included in Christ when you heard the word of truth,the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in Him with a seal,the promised Holy Spirit,who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance untill the redemption of those are god's possesion-to the praise of His glory' ephesians 1:13-14
what god wants to say to you is really simple, and yet also profoundly impactful at the same time!
1 cross held your sins, 3 nails pinned them on the cross, and because 1 person loved you so much, you are now 4given and released from your slavery to SIN. it doesnt take a mathematician to work THAT out now,does it? (;
you now belong to this family,and this is where you'll stay.
because you've found your way into the father's heart,and he loves you too much to ever let you go.
even before you were conceived, he had great plans for you. he holds you ever so closely by his side. My child, this is how much you mean to Me.
In you i am delighted.for i knew you even before you were born. i know all of your ways. i carried you in my arms.
even as you were learning how to walk, i want you to know that i was right behind you.every step that you took thereafter, i know them as well.
even as you run toward me,so will i run toward you and take you into my embrace. for in my everlasting arms you will find rest,i will fill your spirit with immense joy.
My child, I am your father,and i love you even as i love my son,Jesus. John 17:23
My heart rejoices in you o god, my soul sings forever of your greatness.
