PTL & Happy Wednesday, we should never underestimate the cost of God’s atoning sacrifice for our salvation. Let us never forget, God is holy. We are sinful. No atonement, no salvation. There's not a day when we ought not look back to the cross of Christ with a heart of thanksgiving for our redemption.
God provided the ultimate sacrifice for us, showing mercy to us, in the form of Jesus. God made the ultimate sacrifice in sending His Son Jesus to die for us. Thank God for the incredible love and mercy that He demonstrated through the cross and the blood of Jesus to redeem and restore us.
We have been bought with a price; it should cost us something. The LORD demands much of us. True worship is costly! There are many folks who claim to be followers of Christ. And yet, their following of Christ is only when it's convenient. We aren't simply to follow Christ when it's convenient.
When King David bought the threshing floor from Araunah for the temple, Araunah was willing to just give it to him. But, David refused, not willing to give anything to God that didn’t cost him something. As great as our personal sacrifices may be, the Lord requires “all” of us. Are you giving your all? – “And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely buy it of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the LORD my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So, David bought the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver” (2 Samuel 24:24).
