HIS REDEEMING LOVE

“But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared.  Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.”
Titus 3:4-7 KJV

We are saved and redeemed through the precious love of our Saviour.  When Jesus allowed them to crucify Him for our sins and shed His own blood, He redeemed us from all our sins and if we have invited Jesus into our heart to be our personal Saviour, we are saved and will live in Heaven with Jesus for all eternity.

One of the definitions I found for redeem in Webster’s Dictionary is “to free from the consequences of sin”.  That is exactly what Jesus did on the cross for us.  What a Saviour!  What a Friend, this Jesus of Nazareth!  There is no one like Jesus.  No one loves us like Jesus love us and no one ever will.

Squire Parsons wrote the beautiful and inspiring hymn which is one of my favorite hymns “HE CAME TO ME”.  This verse describes me before Jesus saved me.  “He came to me when I was bound in chains of sin, He came to me when I possessed no hope within,” Thank God for the redeeming love of Jesus.

Precious Heavenly Father, I love You so much.  Thank You for Jesus and for adopting me into Your family.  Jesus, how I love You.  How I long to see You face to face.  Thank You for dying on the cross for my sins and for coming to me when I couldn’t go to You.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
