Galatians 1:4. “Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father.” GAVE HIMSELF. Sins have a way of making dark claims
On us, that is impossible to meet.
Over and over, they challenge the soul
Until our firm resolves they defeat.
But our Lord gave himself when he died on the cross
To deliver us from sins’ claims that bind;
Now the world and evil have suffered great loss,
And God’s grace grants freedom that’s mine.
By God’s Gospel of truth and unlimited grace,
Every person who is bowed down in sin –
All over the world in every place,
Can know personally deliverance by Him.
Christ on Calvary’s tree bore God’s wrath there for me;
Now in love that exceeds every measure –
Took sins full demand, that every person may be –
Set free to enjoy such a treasure.
“I know it was Thy will Father, that the Lord Jesus would give Himself for me. The result of being delivered from the evil world and all that means means so much to me that I cannot express my gratitude.
But I can certainly thank You, Lord Jesus, for giving Thyself for me. Amen.”
