Ephesians 5:2, “Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God!”

The redeeming love of Jesus for His people
, is the cornerstone of the Christian faith. His dying love is so costly and unfathomable, that it transcends all understanding. In order to save us from our sins, Jesus willingly sacrificed Himself on the cruel cross, to redeem and reconcile us to our Heavenly Father.

This incomprehensible act of mercy and grace, demonstrates the depth of Christ’s compassion. For while we were yet sinners, He died for us, pouring out His life’s blood in order to cleanse our souls from all sin, and bring us to His glorious heavenly home.

Through His wondrous sin-atoning sacrifice, Jesus conquered the powers of sin and death, opening the door of salvation for all of His chosen people. His redeeming love is both a beacon of hope, and a wellspring of joy–for the weary and sin-laden believer!

No matter how many and monstrous our sins have been, Jesus forgives each one–as He embraces us, His beloved children, in His arms of mercy and unfailing tenderness!

The transformative power of the Savior’s redeeming love, takes undeserving, ill-deserving, Hell-deserving broken-hearted sinners, and makes them as pure as the driven snow!

“May you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high and how deep His love is! May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully!” Ephesians 3:18, 19
