December 5

Our salvation is great because God alone was able to do it.

The greatest price had to be paid;

only Jesus could become sin and die for us.

It is great because we are lifted

from the lowest depths to the greatest heights.

Through Him we escape the wrath of God;

the condemnation of a sinful nature;

the torment of our guilt;

the judgment of our sin;

and the punishment we deserve.

In Christ we are embraced by the love of God;

we partake of the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ;

we experience the joy of salvation;

we are filled with the peace of God;

and we encounter the wonderful fellowship of the Holy Spirit.
