Before the Throne of God Above

Do you Still Marvel at our Great Salvation?

Hey guys

I was just listening to the video of Shane&Shane's version of "Before the Throne of God above" and I started to just really think about the words and the Gospel.

Christians are saved by Grace along, through Faith. We do NOTHING to save ourselves, it is a gift of God. Not only that, by His strength He is keeping it safe for the inheritance that we will get when we go to heaven.

1 Peter 1:3-5
"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, who are protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time"

Sometimes.....ALOT of the times I just get into the swing of things and forget of the great love shown in my great salvation. It cost our Great God's son's life, and Jesus went willing fully for His Fathers plan and out of the great love He has for His brothers and sisters. We will never, NEVER know such a great love as that love!

Please join me and reminding ourselves DAILY about the great cost of our salvation and that we do have a Great High Priest in Heaven pleading for us continually!

Hebrews 4:15-16
"For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin. Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need"

Hebrews 7:25
"Therefore He is able also to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them"

Praise our Great God!

Our salvation is costly, it cost the live of the Son of God, God Himself! Let us humble ourselves, be broken by our great God and praise Him for his great mercy!

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Praise the One, Risen Son of God!

For His Glory!
