Utterly Priceless

What price would you put on salvation?
It is so costly, so precious, and so powerful that it's worth can't be determined!


Definition of priceless-so precious that it's value can't be determined
Definition of propitiation-atonement or payment
Definition of omnipotent-able to do anything, having unlimited power 
Definition of wherewithal-necessary means
Salvation is priceless!
Salvation is the sweetest gift of forgiveness and unmerited eternal life.
That's right, it's was freely given by Christ to you!

Salvation can't be purchased!

Salvation can't be earned!

Salvation was a single selfless act, ordained by merciful Almighty God through His obedient Son, Jesus Christ!!!

Jesus, who knew no sin became your propitiation!

Without this free gift, you will go to Hell!

There is no other means by which you may receive eternal life except by the death and resurrection of Christ Jesus!

Our hope is faith in Christ!

Faith is professed in that Christ is God's only Son, that He died, that He is risen and is seated at the right hand of God, interceding on our behalf.

Man will be without excuse because it is evident in what we see, human body forming from tiny cells, sun, moon, planets being held by nothing,!invisible air that supports life, etc. and that there is a God who is Creator of all things.

On are recent trip to the Gulf of Mexico, I stood overlooking the ocean and was reminded of  God's omnipotence. There is no way man with his many limitations, could  ever have the wherewithal to create the ocean. If you watch the waves that seemingly appear from nowhere crashing violently with such force and then they return to their unknown place only to do it all over again. I stand amazed in His presence and am utterly astounded by His creation!

To believe or not to believe is just not an option when your eyes are opened to the wonder that is God, His unlimited power, His unlimited glory, and His amazing unmerited mercy toward man.

If you are searching, if you are feeling lost and held captive by sin, just pray to Him for your eyes to be opened, read His word for conviction, read His word for life, go and sin no more, fall before His throne of grace and be amazed at His mercy!

Come as you are, He will change you!

but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. - Romans 5:8

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. - John 3:16

4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, 5 even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ-by grace you have been saved- 6 and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, - Ephesians 2:4-6

5 For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time. - 1 Timothy 2:5-6

8 "Or who shut in the sea with doors when it burst out from the womb, 9 when I made clouds its garment and thick darkness its swaddling band, 10 and prescribed limits for it and set bars and doors, 11 and said, 'Thus far shall you come, and no farther, and here shall your proud waves be stayed'?  - Job 38:8-11

19 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. 20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. - Romans 1:19-20

1 The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.  2 Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge. 3 There is no speech, nor are there words, whose voice is not heard. 4 Their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun, 5 which comes out like a bridegroom leaving his chamber, and, like a strong man, runs its course with joy.  6 Its rising is from the end of the heavens, and its circuit to the end of them, and there is nothing hidden from its heat. 7 The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple; 8 the precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes; 9 the fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever; the rules of the LORD are true, and righteous altogether.  - Psalm 19:1-9

30 The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent, 31 because he has fixed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed; and of this he has given assurance to all by raising him from the dead." - Acts 17:30-31

25 Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, 26 and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?" 27 She said to him, "Yes, Lord; I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming into the world." - John 11:25-27
