[bloom-with-grace-and-faith]

But God clearly shows and proves His own love for us, by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. -Romans 5:8

Tetelestai

This word is what's translated as "completed" in John 19:28 and "It is finished" in John 19:30. These are the only times this word is used in the Bible, and it means that something is done, and done forever. It can't be undone, in the same way that if you complete a race you can't unrun it, or if you bake a cake you can't unbake it.

Tetelestai is also the word that was written on receipts in New Testament times to indicate that the amount owed was paid in full.

We don't have to bear the separation from God that our sin causes. We don't have to bear the punishment we so richly deserve. Jesus paid our debt. He took it all on himself because he loves us.

He is God, and he loves us.

(It boggles my mind to think about - I'm like David, sitting down and saying in complete bewilderment, "who am I, that you would do this?")

The forces of evil cannot undo what Jesus did on the cross. We cannot earn or add to what Jesus did on the cross.

Tetelestai.

It is finished.

Thoughts on Today's Verse… Interestingly, the Bible doesn't ever just say that God loves us. Instead, it says: "God demonstrated his love…" "In this is love, not that we loved God but that God loved us and gave…" "For God so loved the world that he gave…" Love is more than emotion or intention. True love, redemptive love, God-styled love is active; it does something. For us, Jesus did more than something; he sacrificed everything. What's more, he did it when we most needed it. He demonstrated his love when we were sinners!

The Thoughts on Today's Verse were written by Phil Ware.

“But God has shown us how much he loves us—it was while we were still sinners that Christ died for us!” —Romans 5:8 (GNT)

Friend, if you need to hear this today: when you don't feel that anyone in this world loves you, there is someone who loves you so much that He died to know you. You will NEVER be unloved. Amen! 🙌

Give up Criticism and Become Intoxicated with Jesus

An open letter to all my Christian friends (independent of denomination) It’s Empty Headed to Think that CriticismRather Living Like Jesus is Going to Change the World There is a vicious new sport in our culture that is destroying spiritual passion among many of God’s people across denominational lines. It is currently running rampant in the Evangelical tribe of the church but seems to be growing…

Trusting the Lord in Times of Suffering: An Expository Study of Alma 14

In our journey of faith, suffering can often feel insurmountable. It's in these moments that we must remember Christ's example and His ultimate sacrifice.

Alma the Younger and Amulek are led away from the fire that has consumed the believers in Ammonihah. Suffering is an inevitable part of the human experience, especially for believers striving to walk the path of righteousness. In Alma 14, we find a profound example of enduring faith amidst unimaginable trials. Alma and Amulek faced severe persecution and witnessed the martyrdom of the faithful,…

It's a Come as You Are Party

I remember “back in the day” when we had “Come as you are” parties. The party planner called and invited friends who HAD to come right then, in whatever they had on at the time being. It was hilarious – PJ’s, work-out or dress-to-the-nines clothes, evening wear, swimming suit and jeans and a T–shirt or whatever.But, in a more spiritual context, many of us carry a misconception that we need to…

(I know it's Thursday!) We're all human and we will fail (because we're human) and it's good to be reminded that our failures will never make God love us less. You are loved by God! Amen! 🙌
