unleashing love

In Christ, you preceded Adam.

Before the galaxies were spoken into existence, before there was mountains high or valleys low, you existed in Him. All of history revolves around One: Jesus. The cross is not plan B. To be “predestined to the adoption as sons in Christ” means that at the dawning of time, The Father, Son, and Spirit saw the fall, saw the cross, saw what it would take to be with you, and agreed that you were worth it all.

You don’t give your all for something you find no value in.

How much is His blood worth?
Priceless. This means you are priceless to Him.

Contrary to popular teaching, you were not made to “worship” God. I’m not speaking against worship as an overflow of being loved; but I am speaking against the common teaching that you were created to worship God. God is not selfish. He is not insecure. You were born not because God needed you, but because He wanted you. He wanted to share Who He was in fellowship of the Trinity through Jesus. At the center of the Trinity is a relational God, eager to share the beauty of Who He is.

Wonderful. Beautiful. Glorious.
