"Let Us Praise God"

 “Let Us Praise God”

 

Let us praise God for His glorious grace, for the free gift He gave us in His dear Son!  For by the blood of Christ we are set free, that is, our sins are forgiven.  How great is the grace of God, which He gave to us in such large measure!  In all His wisdom and insight God did what He had purposed, and made known to us the secret plan He had already decided to complete by means of Christ.  This plan, which God will complete when the time is right, is to bring all creation together, everything in Heaven and on earth, with Christ as Head.  The Spirit is the guarantee that we shall receive what God has promised His people, and this assures us that God will give complete freedom to those who are His.  Let us praise His glory!        Ephesians 1:6-10, 14

 

We, who are the TRUE CHILDREN of the Living God, should ALWAYS be willing to offer PRAISE and ADORATION to Him for ALL He has done for us.  These verses of Scripture, COMPELS us to PRAISE GOD for His blessing of REDEMPTION for ALL mankind. 

 

First, let us PRAISE Him for His GLORIOUS GRACE, giving us what we don’t deserve, the FREE GIFT of SALVATION, which was made possible through the REDEMPTIVE WORK of His BELOVED SON, Jesus Christ.  Because by the blood of Christ, we who have accepted this GIFT of GRACE, has been SET FREE and ALL our sins are FORGIVEN.  LET US PRAISE GOD for the GREATNESS of His GRACE!

 

God’s ABUNDANT GRACE, was part of His secret plan to FREE FALLEN MANKIND from their ENSLAVEMENT to SIN.  In His WISDOM and INSIGHT His PLAN was brought about through the SACRIFICAL DEATH of His Son, Jesus Christ, who DIED on an OLD RUGGED CROSS, but in three days, He became a VICTOR over DEATH and the GRAVE.  And He is NOW, ALIVE in HEAVEN.  One day He will RETURN to COMPLETE God’s Plan of SALVATION.  LET US PRAISE GOD for His PLAN of SALVATION.

 

The HOLY SPIRIT of the LIVING GOD is our GUARANTEE that we WILL receive what God has PROMISED His TRUE CHILDREN.  This GUARANTEE brings us ASSURANCE that God will give His Children COMPLETE FREEDOM from the GUILT of their sins, and an ETERNAL HOME in Heaven.  LET US PRAISE GOD for HIS HOLY SPIRIT, the GUARANTEE of His PROMISE. 

 

If you have NOT given your HEART and LIFE to God, then you cannot PRAISE HIM for His ABUNDANT GRACE, His PLAN of SALVATION or His GUARANTEED PROMISE.  In order to receive God’s FREE GIFT of SALVATION, and to spend an ETERNITY in HEAVEN, you MUST BE WILLING TO TURN AWAY FROM your sinful lifestyle and TO TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  You MUST BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART that, Jesus died for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God.  Then CONFESS your sins to Him, and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  Then Accept His gift of SALVATION, and PRAISE GOD FOR HIS LOVE, MERCY and GRACE.  Do this NOW, while you still can.  He’s waiting and coming SOON!!!
