Mega Praises

1Peter 1:3 “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!  In His mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,”

            Amen and amen!  O Lord, there are not enough words in all of the languages of the earth for all time to express my gratitude foe salvation and the hope of resurrection!  What a precious, priceless gift.  The knowledge that this world is not all there is and that at this very moment, I am living my eternal life is almost too wonderful for me to comprehend.

            The unbeliever in this world lives in such hopelessness and fear or in wild abandon because they do not have, or believe, this truth.  They either believe that this is all there is and they should eat, drink, and be merry for tomorrow we die; or they frantically try to do enough or be good enough so that when they vanish from the earth they will be remembered by someone..

            It is by Your great mercy You give us this new birth.  Because of Your unfathomable gift of forgiveness and restoration, we can start life over a billion times and have forgiveness for the past as long as we confess and repent.  This is why we can have the peace of God!

            Hallelujah, what a Savior!  What a God!  What a blessed life I can now live because of You, Lord!  Thank You!
