Love the Lord thy God!

Hello! Just a quick post to share this card I've made today. I absolutely love joining with Word Art Wednesday and they always have great word art to share! I've been looking through some fun scrapbooking magazines a friend brought me and I kept seeing these distressed panels so I took it as a sign! hehehe I used some scraps of DP from ATD Momenta and combined it with some fun pink buttons and light pink ric rac from my collection.
When we are focused on the Lord it's not possible to be focused on ourselves!

Jenée said...: A beautiful card with a beautiful verse. I like the inked frame around your verse (It is a technique I enjoy using myself, as it really helps draw attention to the verse or image.); 13 July 2012 at 08:03

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!
