Ephesians 1

Verse 7 states, "in him we have redemption through his (Jesus Christ's) blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace". It was God's grace and love for us that compelled Him to give us Jesus Christ (John 3:16). It is thru Jesus' sacrifice and by His blood that He freely shed that we are forgiven of our sins and redeemed! No other way can save us! Thank you Jesus that you love me enough to die for me! Thank you God that you love me enough to send Your only Son to die in my place and that You would allow Jesus' blood to redeem me! I am not nor ever will be worthy enough, but I am forever thankful, and that (sadly) is not enough either (in my eyes). I could never pay enough for what was freely (without reservation) given by Jesus.
