Bible Verse of the Day Thursday March 25th 2021

Romans 8:32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all, how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?

The greatest gift ever known to the world is not gold, silver, fame, or fortune; it is the free gift of Salvation. It comes to us with no cost; however, it did not come about without a price. Jesus paid the ultimate price on the Hill of Calvary so we could be justified before a perfect God, that we could never stand before on our own merits. Our Heavenly Father has given us His supreme gift; how can we think for a second that He will not freely give us all we need. Because God loves us so much and gave His Son so that we can be together with Him for eternity, He will provide us with all the tools necessary to conform our lives into the image of His Son, our Lord, and Savior, Christ Jesus (2 Peter 1:3). There is not just this one gift that God will bestow upon those that follow Him, but many countless gifts. Of all of these gifts that we can receive from God, not one compares with the Gift of His Son. 

When God called on Abraham to sacrifice his son, Isaac, God spared the life of the son of Abraham. However, this was not the case for the Son of God; He was not spared but willingly and joyfully went to the Cross and laid down His life to atone for our sins. In God's ultimate and supreme love, He gave us the greatest gift that could be bestowed on humankind, that is Salvation to eternal life with our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus. 

Romans 8:28-30 is a most beautiful expression of the eternal purpose of God. Some in the world do not adhere to the Substitutionary Atonement of Christ. The reasons are varied; some think more highly of themselves than they should (Romans 12:3) and believe that they can do something to merit their Salvation and eternal life. When one feels that there is some work required for Salvation, they have said that he suffered and died on the Cross for naught. They are trampling underfoot what Jesus, so lovingly and willingly, did for us when He laid down His life on the Cross (Hebrews 10:29).

Still, others do not believe that Jesus was God in the flesh, while others think that He was some great teacher or prophet. Romans 5:8-10 and 8:32 is a good beginning place for the answers and truth of Christ Jesus' substitutionary work on our behalf at the Cross.
