thanks copper--yes, these verses make it clear how precious is our salvation. Would God require the spilling of His own Son's blood if it was not necessary or if there was any other way to bring us up to the original intention that He had for us? God has provided the fellowship of Jesus for us as our God and Brother, but we must remember also that it is the Glory of our God who is beyond comprehension wonderful in so many ways that we fall short of. Nothing even exists without Him and I believe the universe, as infinitely vast, intricate and beautiful as it is, is but a portion of all that God has created. The unseen world holds vistas of spiritual things fit for an eternity with the Holiness of God and the other inhabitants. God bless, Botham

Hi Eden
Just look at this verse
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
"For God so loved the world"
Who is of the world? Surely we were fitted to be on that same platform, that same way of conformity, being at one time guided by the spirit of the evil one
Ephesians 2
1And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
2Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
3Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
These three verses say an abundant amount about where we were.
Frankly, we were prisoners to this world, slaves of a system, snared with death and bound to the confinements, the restriction of fleshly lust, exaltation of pride, doomed with absolutely no hope.
We were saved from the lowest pits of hell! God hates just one sin; just for one sin is death; now look back at how many sins we have done to offend God, yet he did not destroy us then, and we still walk and breath now.
Every single moment we get to live on this earth, the next breath we take is a blessing from God. Each day that our hearts pulsate is a blessing from God.
This should always be kept in mind, that this is a continual blessing, the liberation in Jesus Christ, O, there is lot to say at these things.
I will say this in short, God continues to bless us with his presence each day, to communicate, to fellowship, to be able to enter into the holy of holies by Jesus Christ. God has blessed us with the privilege to serve Him, to do his will.
I think we tend to take these things for granted, just how much of a privilege it is to be saved and have a relationship with God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Sprit each day.
We are truly blessed every day, but we need to take a moment to pause and remember. I believe in all honesty, that if we kept in mind the GREAT magnitude of the gospel truths each day, our perspective on blessings, our concept on serving the Lord, on seeking the Lord's face, our thankfulness would change big time for the better and would prove to be truly expedient.
We are blessed in a practical way each day. Just pause and look at our past (what we were and where we would have been now had God not saved us), the present (how God has redeemed us through Jesus Christ and for matter sustains, guides, strengthens, defends, delivers, protects, forgives, and teaches us each day), the Future (o what a hope we have been called to and what end, the lake of fire, we were saved from)
1Pe 1:18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
1Pe 1:19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
