Today’s Reading: Galatians 1:1-5
Today’s Verse: “Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.” Galatians 1:4-5 KJV
To God be the glory for all the great things He has done. For all the great things He is doing in our lives.
In today’s passage, the Apostle Paul talks about the sacrifice Jesus made. He gives a powerful statement. That according to God’s will, it was a rescue mission. A sacrifice for our sins.
A rescue mission that would result in eternal glory to the Father.
Jesus made the ultimate payment for all our wrongdoings. He rescued us from the grip, power, and corrupting influences of this world.
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16 KJV).
The entire plan, His crucifixion, was not an accident. It was on purpose. It was God’s loving design.
The death of Jesus redeemed us from the wrath of God. From the curse of the law.
It liberated us from wicked practices and customs that enslave us.
Paul finishes this opening thought by giving all glory and honor to God, “To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.”
Perfect redemption to every believer is the promise of God.
A time of great rejoicing for all to receive.
A WORD OF PRAYER
Heavenly Father, You so loved the world that You gave us Jesus. He yielded His life as an atonement for our sins. He opened the gate of life that all could come in. There are so many great things He has done. So many great things He has taught and continues to teach us. We rejoice in knowing how much He loves and cares for us. Thank You for all you are doing in our lives. We give You glory and honor forever and ever.
In Jesus Name We Pray, Amen
