Verse of the Day

For Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. 2 Corinthians 5:14

I truly am humbled and amazed everytime I think about the love that Christ has for me. It's a love He has for all of us, and how awesome it is that He died for us. That He chose to die a shameful death on the cross (yes, at that time it was indeed a shameful death), and chose to accept the brutal punishment which was given to Him for us. So that we could be free. This is the new covenent. The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We who believe have to die to ourselves daily, and truly strive to live a life pleasing to the Lord. It is amazing the love that God exhibited for us when He sent His son to die for our sins. We are so underserving of such grace and mercy, but it is a gift that was given. All we have to do is accept the gift and acknowledge the truth, and live accordingly.
