I Will Praise Thee

Hello, thanks for dropping by today. I have a card to share with you that I've made for the challenge over at Word Art Wednesday. I never get tired of praising the Lord for His amazing blessings and the amazing salvation that He has given me. What a precious thing it is to be blessed with having His Word the Bible to read and learn from!
I printed out this passage from Psalm 9:1-2, inked it a bit and matted it to some textured cardstock. The purple layer I cut around with my decorative scissors to create a nice frame. I popped this up over another layer of some beautiful paper from Autumn Leaf. The ribbon is from Espirit and Multicraft Imports. The buttons I purchased at Wallmart and the rhinestones are from Forever in Time.

Salvation FULL & FREE!

"But God commendeth his love toward us in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life."

Romans 5:8-10

So what does this mean?

God proved his love for us, sinners, through the death of his sinless Son. This death was not accidental. It was sacrificial and necessary for the reconciliation of sinners. The penalty for sin is death. However, there is hope in Christ! His death on the cross paid the price for your sins and mine and brings forgiveness from and peace with God. Christ's resurrection and present ministry in heaven keep us saved. Once you have accepted this precious gift, you can never lose it! AMEN!

Have YOU repented, believed, and been reconciled? I pray that you have!
