The entire Bible is a beautiful love story between Christ and His Bride. Jesus is the only One who can satisfy our hearts deepest desires. As His brides, we are set-apart from worldly affairs, to do the greater works of Christ and live a life full of His great love.

God's Grace - The Cross

My human mind cannot fathom the fact that God, our Lord and Saviour, is so generous and loves us so so much that He sent the one thing that He loved the most, His only begotten Son to die for US, you and me, on the Cross, so that we may be saved. Imagine if Jesus didn’t die for us.. We would be living our lives like the people of the Old Testament did, to some extent. We will be commiting sins, and paying for them at the same time, because as the Bible says, the wages of sin is death. BUT, the miracle that happened is when God sent His Son Jesus Christ to earth, to understand what life is like as a human, to bring us closer to God. Therefore God sacrificed His Son for us, so that we may not have to pay the debts of sin, instead with the intention that we may be forgiven for our trespasses! That is grace on another level!

By commiting this act of selflessness, Jesus Christ has done EVERYTHING for us. The only thing that is left is unmerited favour! He only requires us to receive this blessing, or rather this gift, by believing in our hearts that He has died and risen again, for us, and by confessing this with our mouths. Like sho! Jesus has literally done all the work for us, all we have to do is receive this gift! It almost sounds way to be good to be true. Like how can somebody give up their entire life on our behalf, in the most painful and gruesome way, so that people that hasn’t even met Him yet, can be saved?? But that is the beauty of God’s grace! Jesus did it ALL for those that believe! We just have to receive it!


Until we grasp what the significance about the events that occurred on the Cross of Calvary is, we will keep treating fellow humans without the love and compassion that God has showed us. Once you have the life of God living inside of you, nothing can take it away!
