Which Christ Do You Serve?

This doesn't really need any explanation.

I found this video about a year ago and just loved it. Of course, anyone who knows anything about me knows I fall in love with just about anything dealing with Jamaica. This is two little Jamaican girls reciting Psalm 23 in the local patois.

Thoughts for the Week
(Romans 5:1-11, 18-21)

Justified and blessed

Even before the Creation, God knew mankind would fall from the perfection in which He created us. God knew sin would engulf us as a race and as individuals. He knew we would become morally and spiritually filthy, stained, and useless. And He knew that, in such a state, we would be unable to help one another or even just ourselves.

So God in His grace formulated a plan to redeem us by grace. God determined to bring us justification by grace. No, that justification would not return us to some sort of just-as-if-I-had-never-sinned state nor would it erase all the consequences of our failures. However, that justification would cleanse us thoroughly from our sins, renew us completely within, and fully restore our standing with Him.

Talk about generosity! God's justification in our lives results in many blessings that enrich our lives. Here are some of those blessings.

Peace with God
Access to God's grace
A glorious hope
Christian character
God's love within
Reconciliation with God

My friend, do you stand before God as one who has been justified by the blood of the Lamb?
