He Is The Reason
We sing the words that "You are the Reason", but do we stop to really think about
why He is the reason we worship? I've always loved Jewish history and I'm so glad that
in His compassion He sent His Son to die for me and that I was not doomed to be forever
outside of His family. How lost mankind was and what a dark world He was born into.
No wonder that the Apostle John described Him as the Light of the World. Our salvation
is not our right, it is a gift that we could never have earned. We never could have been
perfect enough to be worth the gift of God's Son. So the next time you are singing "You
are the Reason", remember that He is the only reason that today we can stand justified
before the throne of God and He remembers our sin no more. We are the children of
God, not by right, but by grace.
Romans 5:1, 2 "Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with
God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into
this grace in which we now stand."
