How to thank Him!

Pastor Leon’s SOAP:  Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer
April 5, 2024: SOAP #5237: Ruth 1-2; Psalm 53, 61; 2Corinthians 5

SCRIPTURE:  2Corinthians (NIV) 5:20 We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God. 21 God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

OBSERVATION:  Jesus, God’s Son, took my sin as though it was His own.  He carried my sins to the cross where He paid for those sins as though they were His own.  So, where does that leave me?  I have become the righteousness of God.  Jesus took my sins and left me righteous!  

APPLICATION:  Jesus was treated as a sinful man, receiving the just punishment required by a holy God.  Now, I am treated as righteous as Jesus!!!   I am seated with Christ in heavenly places, far above all power and principalities!  (Ephesians 2:6) 

PRAYER:  Lord, my words cannot properly express thanksgiving appropriately for what you have done for me.  I give you my life, my days and my nights, my possessions including my money, my hopes, and dreams…all I am and all I have is yours.  Amen
