GOD’S GREATEST GIFT

What then shall we say to these things?

If God is for us, who can be against us?

He who did not spare His own Son, but

delivered Him up for us all, how shall He

not with Him also freely give us all things?

( Romans 8.31 and 32).

POINTS FOR MEDITATION

 Please meditate on the following:

1) God has definitely demonstrated His

amazing love to us in that

while we were yet sinners, Jesus Christ

died for us to give us everlasting life in Him.

2) God has already given us the greatest

proof of His love by not holding back

His only begotten Son. This means that He

will  hold nothing back, but with Him also

freely and graciously give us all things.

Nor is the free gift at all to be compared

to the effect of that one man’s ( Adam’s)

sin.

For the sentence following the trespass

of one man brought condemnation

whereas the free gift following many

transgressions brings justification.

For if because of one man’s trespass

death reigned through that one

much more surely will those who

receive God’s overflowing grace

and the free gift of righteousness

reign as kings in life through the

one Man Jesus Christ.

Well then, as one man’s trespass led

to condemnation for all men,

so one man’s act of righteousness leads

to acquittal and right standing with God

and life for all men.

(Romans 5.16-18).

Consider these points:

1) The sin of Adam concluded all mankind in sin.

2) Sin led to death and decay ( corruption).

3) Jesus Christ, the Eternal Son, the second

person of the Holy Trinity ( Godhead) being

fully God, also became fully human to give

all humanity a new start ( recapitulation).

4) Now His righteousness is imputed to us

and brings about our reconciliation and

justification.

5) We become a new creation in Christ with

His characteristics, instead of the old sinful

human nature inherited from Adam.

6) Jesus Christ reversed the guilty verdict

and gave us right standing in God’s sight.

7) Because of our right standing which we

receive through Jesus Christ, God’s grace and

extravagant favor overflow  into our lives.

Every good gift and every perfect gift
is from above, and comes down from
the Father of lights, with whom there
is no variation or shadow of turning.
Of His own will He brought us forth
by the word of truth, that we might
be a kind of first fruits of His creatures.
( James1.17  and 18).
