Romans 5:8-9 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
[9] Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
At the very heart of the story of Jesus is His demonstration of love for us by dying on a cross for our sins while we were yet sinners.
I’m so glad I was justified by His blood sacrifice when I believed on Him.
I’m so glad I’m saved.
Tell Me the Story of Jesus
_________________________
Tell me the story of Jesus, — Write on my heart every word; — Tell me the story most precious, — Sweetest that ever was heard. — Tell how the angels in chorus, — Sang as they welcomed His birth, — “Glory to God in the highest! — Peace and good tidings to earth.”
CHORUS:
Tell me the story of Jesus, — Write on my heart every word; — Tell me the story most precious, — Sweetest that ever was heard.
Fasting alone in the desert, — Tell of the days that are past, — How for our sins He was tempted, — Yet was triumphant at last. — Tell of the years of His labor, — Tell of the sorrow He bore; — He was despised and afflicted, — Homeless, rejected and poor.
Tell of the cross where they nailed Him, — Writhing in anguish and pain; — Tell of the grave where they laid Him, — Tell how He liveth again. — Love in that story so tender, — Clearer than ever I see; — Stay, let me weep while you whisper, — “Love paid the ransom for me.”
Tell how He’s gone back to heaven, — Up to the right hand of God: — How He is there interceding — While on this earth we must trod. — Tell of the sweet Holy Spirit — He has poured out from above; — Tell how He’s coming in glory — For all the saints of His love.
