A ransom paid for you!!

Good morning! All is wonderful if you let God lead. Today, take time and pray for everyone you know and all who receive this devotional.

1 Peter 1:18-19 "For you know that God paid a ransom to save you from the empty life you inherited from your ancestors. And the ransom he paid was not mere gold or silver. It was the precious blood of Christ, the sinless, spotless Lamb of God."

Wow! Read that again!! A slave was 'ransomed' when someone paid money to buy his or her freedom. God ransomed us from the tyranny of sin, not with money, but with the precious blood of his own Son. Look at Roman 6:6,7; 1 Corinthians 6:20; Colossians 2:13,14; Hebrews 9:12.

We cannot escape from sin on our own, only the life of God's Son can free us. Wow! How powerful! Take a moment for God, don't provoke your Father in heaven. Thank you for reading. Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
