It was God’s love for fallen man that caused Him to give His Son, Jesus, to die for the sins of all and redeem us with His precious blood. Today Jesus offers us life through His obedience and sacrifice, while the Devil shows us death. We can have life abundantly in Christ. The choice is ours to make. If we choose life, our lives will show that we have chosen life by the way we live. The many choices that we make throughout our daily lives will show whether we are worthy of the blessings of Christ and life eternal in the world to come.
