Some Significant Truths About Christ

The following are some significant truths about our Lord and Savior that we should give thought to as children of God (Romans 8:16; Galations 3:26; 1 John 5:2):

• He was born that we might be born again (John 1:11-14; John 3:1-8; 1 Peter 1:18-23).

• He became poor that we might become rich (2 Corinthians 8:9; cf. Philippians 2:6-8; James 2:5).

• He took on the form of a servant that we might become sons (Philippians 2:5-8; cf. Romans 8:13-17; Galations 4:6-7).

• He was made sin that we might be made righteous (2 Corinthians 5:21; cf. Isaiah 53:4-5; Romans 4:13-25).

• He had no home, so that we might have a home in heaven (Matthew 8:20; John 14:1-3).

• He was bound that we might be free (John 8:32-36; Romans 6:8-17; Romans 8:2; Galations 5:1).

• He died that we might live (John 3:16-17; John 5:24-25; Galations 2:19).

Beloved, knowing the sacrifices that our Lord made for us, let us willingly offer sacrifices before God that are pleasing to Him.
