1 Peter 1:18-19
18 For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.
You can’t buy your way into Heaven. Sorry, if you have been saving up for it. The good news is you can go spend that money now. Jesus already paid the price. Your salvation is FREE! Well, it is free just like your freedoms guaranteed to you in the constitution. Many people have paid with their lives to keep those freedoms for you as well. I guess what I am saying is nothing is ever really free.
We can be so very happy and leap for joy that we have been given the choice to live happier ever after with God in Heaven forever and ever and ever. However, while we are relishing in that fact, we need to take a moment to remember what it took to get that gift. Please remember the pain, physically and emotionally Jesus placed himself in so that you could live.
Your freedom may be free to you, but it was not free. A price had to be paid. Your spot was meant to be on that cross. Your death was demanded for your payment. Blood had to be shed. Jesus stepped up to take that price on His head. He marked your debt paid in full. You don’t have to pay for your life anymore. It is a gift to you. However, don’t ever forget that gift was paid for a long time ago. Your freedom did not come for free.
Thank You for paying for my freedom! ~amen
