Justified freely by His blood; all our ransom was paid through the resurrection of Christ. Every debt was canceled there was nothing left outstanding. The Passover of feasting with the disciples represented the promise of God. It was the body of Christ that would be broken for us and the shedding of His blood.

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life" (John.3:16).

"According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:" (King James Bible, 1769/2017, 2 Peter 1:3). Knowing who grace made us to be let us stand in faith. Grace made us the righteousness of God and will always be enough for us. Grace saved the world from God's wrath which revealed His profound love for us. "But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you" (1 Peter 5:10). I encourage you to focus on the grace of God today which is Christ (the only begotten son). Receive Him in your heart as Lord and Savior today and accept your salvation (eternal life...
