Worth

Hey y’all! I have found a new music group that I love to listen to. They are called Anthony Brown & group therAPy. They have a song called Worth and I’m telling you it is so good I find myself praising God every time I hear it! So this song and one other of their songs got me to thinkin’. Before I get my thoughts out, here is the link to the song Worth. Listen to it and come right back…

So what did you think? Pretty great huh? I know that without that horrible cross and Jesus taking on our sins neither you nor I are worthy. Guess what… I’ll wait until you guess….. ok give up? Our worth, your worth and my worth, is so great that He made a way to wipe away our sin, which separates us from Him, and makes us clean so we can spend time with Him on Earth as well as in Heaven!! Whoa!!! I’ve told you before but I’ll tell you again how He took care of those sins… He sent His only begotten Son to live on Earth to die for our sins.

Uh ok stop brrrrrup backup… “Only begotten”? What does that mean? When the Bible refers to Jesus as the only begotten son of God it comes from the Greek word monogenes which means a one-of-a-kind or a unique relationship. So when God sent Jesus to be tortured and killed for our sins He knew that once our sins were laid upon Jesus’ shoulders to bear He (Jesus) could no longer be in the presence of God. That. Is. Huge! So God had to turn away from Jesus on the cross. Jesus had to be punished for our sins not His sins because remember He was blameless. Jesus had to go into the pits of hell and fight for us. Fight to save us so that we could be in the presence of God. And, well, of course He won that fight because He is so AWESOME!!! I am so humbled at the amount of love God has for me to do that! I feel like I’m rambling but I can’t express enough how huge this blessing or gift is!! Without Jesus taking my sins and God, my Father, forgiving those sins I would have to go to hell and face the devil and I can promise you one thing… I am so far from the vicinity of being strong enough to fight the devil it’s like I’m on the moon!! The Good News is that I don’t have to because I have accepted this gift from my Lord!! Have you? It easy peasy to do… all you have to do is accept, believe, and confess. Accept that you are a sinner. Believe that Jesus is God’s Son and that He came to Earth to live a sinless life and chose to take on our sins so that we would not die but live eternally with God instead. The final step is to confess to your family, your neighbor, your friends, to everyone you come into contact with that you have received the most precious gift of all!!

I honestly don’t think anything else needs to be said. Well of course one thing… THANK YOU MY PRECIOUS HEAVENLY FATHER FOR LOVING ME SO MUCH THAT YOU MADE A WAY FOR ME TO BE ABLE TO SPEND MY LIFE HERE AND MY ETERNITY WITH YOU!!

I am going to save my other point for another blog entry so be watching for my next post!!
