Deuteronomy 29:1-29; Amos 7:1-8:14; Luke 15:11-32
He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins. Colossians 1:13-14 NKJV
No amount of self-sacrificing effort or scrupulous living could ever bring about our deliverance from the domain of darkness. Someone who fails to wonder over the miracle of God’s salvation has never understood their lostness, never experienced His rescue, or appreciated the cleansing power of Christ’s blood. That person has not yet even had a glimpse of the light and glory of the kingdom of the Son of His love. If that’s you, don’t run from this reality. Today,
cry out for salvation. —P. Ramsay
Alas! And did my Saviour bleed, and did my Sovereign die!
Would He devote that sacred head, for sinners such as I? —Isaac Watts
