Saved by Christ and Christ alone

Knowing that what Christ has done is enough to save, and that he has saved is the best feeling one on this earth can have. It is liberating, freeing, relaxing, peaceful, and amazing for lack of a better word.

It's comforting, it's assuring, it's brilliant.

It guides you into light. It gives your life purpose and meaning. It creates a passion in you for his word. It sets your heart ablaze for His will. It gives you a hatred for sin.

It gives you hope for a better treasure. Hope for a better life. Hope for the countless days spent with the father.

It gives you a sense of awe. A sense of wonder. A proclamation of His mysteries.

It causes urgency for the cross of Christ to be preached and proclaimed. You feel loved, and know you're loved, so it's easier to love. The love overflows and thusly flows from your life into others.

It's intoxicating. It's breathtaking. It's mesmerizing.

You loose your life, and then find it. You become a new creation. You are set apart. The world you live in is no longer your home. You're alienated to the world. Worldly pleasures become hideous. Sin looses it's pleasure. Sin looses it's power.

Darkness no longer has power over you. Death can't have you. The enemy can't have you.

You know you've been bought. You know He's your portion. You know you've been made for true and long lasting pleasure.

It smashes your pride. It smashes the love of yourself. It causes you to know the cross is the only good thing you have. You boast in it. You glory in it. You love Christ.

I love Christ. I love what He has done. I love that what He's done is enough for me. It's more than enough for me. It will always be enough for me. He will always be my portion. I will always find delight in Him.

I've been set free. My guilt has disappeared. My burden has been lifted. My chains have been cast aside.
I've been cleansed. I've been redeemed.

He gave His life for me. I only hope that I'll be able to give my life for Him.
