{ Day 22: Jesus Is_ - J&C. Smith }

• Romans 5:8
• God gives us the most extravagant and extraordinary gift in history but He gives it to bad people
• You do not tend to buy gifts to people you don't like or you don't know, but God purchased us by the blood of His Son Jesus for people who don't know Him and rejected Him.
• He knows we were sinners, so no need for pretense and maintaining appearance
• Understand that He loves you as He seen you at your worse, at your best, and everything in between, but His love has remained steady.
• You can quit trying to act like you have it altogether, pretending to be perfect, and let God's love do for you what you cannot do for yourself.
• If God gave us the most costly gift possible while we were sinners, and now we have been redeemed and made righteous by Jesus, what will He be giving to us? And what will He hold back from us? Nothing!
• Believe things that you don't deserve because God has given it to you.
