Our Ransom

Our Ransom
To save us from sin, and from that hell where they seek for death but cannot find it, and only find after unnumbered ages that their torments are beginning. Jesus interposed, saying, “I will save them—suspend the sentence— I come to do thy will, O, my God, deliver from going down to the pit, I have found a ransom—have patience with them and I will pay thee all!” He paid it.

Making atonement for sin “He was wounded for our transgressions; he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with his stripes we are healed.” The debt was paid on Calvary to the uttermost farthing; and now God only awakens our convictions and alarms our consciences, reckoning with us, that He may bring sinners to acknowledge their guilt, and so prepare them to receive His mercy.—GUTHRIE.

The Personal Tag

Rick Christian

To know that my name, according to Luke, is a matter of celestial conversation causes my mind to explode! Are you sure, Luke? My name recorded in God’s Book of Life? I suppose God could keep roll more efficiently by using my social security number or bank account number.

Tony Evans

Men, you have a choice. Jesus speaks of a treasure: “The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field,” He said (Matthew 13:44). It’s a treasure for which absolutely nothing should stand in the way.

El Kanna, Jealous God

Christopher D. Hudson

Divine jealousy isn’t motivated by greed or selfishness. God’s holy jealousy is rooted in a desire to protect, provide, and bless. He always and only wants what is best for His chosen ones. And what can be better than His perfect love?
