Priced for Life

Isaiah 43:1-3

“Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you. I have called you by name;

you are mine.  When you go through deep waters and great trouble, I

will be with you.  When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not

drown!  When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be

burned up; the flames will not consume you.  For I am the LORD, your

God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.”  (NLT)

     Learning and accepting this wonderful and encouraging Truth about the LORD our God has been a revelation that has changed my life in ways that I could have never foreseen without the saving grace of our Lord God and Savior.  Knowing there is a real and living God who cares about every aspect of my life in detail, and the One who has called me to be His very own child is an awesomely, heartfelt feeling like no other I have ever experienced.  Knowing these kinds of things about God has given me the confidence to put my hope and trust in the Living God, because I know and believe He will always get me through the storms of this difficult life-journey that seems to blow in one troubling storm after another. 

     When living with the Savior as our Guide and Teacher we are not only able to survive the storms of life, but we will emerge on the other side with a stronger faith and commitment to the Lover of our souls, Jesus Christ.  You have an awesome God and Savior, my friends, for you can always rely on Him to give you hope in your times of discouragement and hopelessness; joy in those times of despair and desperation, but most of all, you can be absolutely sure of His forgiveness and redemption, because He paid a great price for your life—you are priced for eternal life!

                                              A Whisper of Hope

I paid a hefty price for you, My child; a price that makes you Mine for eternity. I did this to save you from the hands of the Enemy—the hater of God and all righteousness.  And because you belong to Me, you have all you will ever need for everlasting life.  Never fear this world dear child, for the plans I have for you are far above this fallen world.

Hebrews 10:39

But we are not like those who turn

their backs on God and seal their fate. 

We have faith that assures our salvation.  (NLT)

                I am the LORD, and there is no other Savior.

                                      (Isaiah 43:11)
