Have you ever seriously considered who you would be willing to die for? Who would deserve such a sacrifice on your part? Is it a child, a parent, a good friend? When it really came down to that last breath, would you go through with it? What would you expect in return?
Have you ever considered what you have done that gave you the right for Jesus to give his life for you? You were a sinner. What had you ever done for him? Oh maybe you went to church and even sang "Amazing Grace" a time or two. But is that enough?
It is. Yes, it is, because of God's grace. It is not because of anything we have done. It's because of God's love and nothing else. That is enough! Isn't that amazing?
"Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Rom 5: 7-8
Oh, yes. God's grace is truly Amazing Grace.
