What God Has Done For Us

I've been thinking about this recently and thought I would share it with you. I hope this helps you to see what an awesome thing God has done for us.

First, let's think about God. What are words that descibe Him?

All-knowing, Ever-present, Creator of the universe, Maker of everything, Great Physician, the One who knows the number of hairs on our heads, knows the number of stars, miracle-worker, Provider of our needs, loving, the Way, Truth, and Life, God with us, compassionate, merciful, Forgiver, allows us second chances, Lion and the Lamb, the Bridegroom, Preparer of a place for us, sets us free, immortal, infinite,...I mean, He's just GOD!

Now what about man? What's he like?

Sinful, finite, mortal, created, disobedient, can't perform miracles, doesn't know the number of of hairs on his head nor the number of stars, can't provide for ourselves, teller of lies, fallen, is in bondage, isn't compassionate, merciful, nor forgiving,...we're so lowly!

Keeping both these things in mind, think about this: God(Creator, all-present, etc.) came to earth and DIED to save MAN, who is so small and insignificant commpared to the LORD! I pray that this would be amazing to you, and that you would understand how incredible this is! GOD DIED for MAN! We didn't deserve it; we still don't, yet He loves us enough to pay the price to rid us of our sins and be able to live with Him forever.

God Who made everything, created the world by speaking, and has the power to take all our breath away in an instant so that we would perish, instead chose to DIE! This truly shows us how loving our God is. God is so awseome, man is so lost and lowly, but still God provided a way so that we could know and love Him and have a relationship with him. Undoubtedly He is worthy of our praise!
