This Is Amazing Grace




Jesus loved each and every one of us so much that HE chose to die for our sins on the cross.



John 3:16-19 (KJV)

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.

17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.




Christ LOVED every one of us so much that HE chose to come down from HIS place with THE Father in Heaven and die for us!!!



John 6:38-40 (KJV)

38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.

39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.

40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.




CHRIST who had NEVER sinned took our sins upon HIM so that we could be forgiven!!!!  Once and for ALL!!!  That we would be made right with OUR FATHER, GOD!!  That we would become HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS!!!



2 Corinthians 5:21 (NKJV) For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.



If that isn’t amazing, then I don’t know what is!!!



That’s TRUE, UNSELFISH, LOVE!!! 



Dying so that someone else might LIVE!!!! 


Luke 9:56 (KJV) For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them.


That’s a LOVE like no other!!!



We can’t even comprehend that kind of LOVE!!!



Very few of us would even consider dying for another person. 



BUT JESUS DID!!!  HE CHOSE TO DIE FOR EACH AND EVERY ONE OF HIS, SO THAT WE MIGHT LIVE!!!



In the song below, Phil Wickham sings of CHRIST’S UNFAILING LOVE for us!!!  He sings of CHRIST’S AMAZING GRACE!!!    



What a beautiful song!!!!!



"This Is Amazing Grace"

[Verse 1:]
Who breaks the power of sin and darkness
Whose love is mighty and so much stronger
The King of Glory, the King above all kings

Who shakes the whole earth with holy thunder
And leaves us breathless in awe and wonder
The King of Glory, the King above all kings

[Chorus:]
This is amazing grace
This is unfailing love
That You would take my place
That You would bear my cross

You lay down Your life
That I would be set free…
Oh, Jesus, I sing for
All that You've done for me

[Verse 2:]
Who brings our chaos back into order
Who makes the orphan a son and daughter
The King of Glory, the King of Glory

Who rules the nations with truth and justice
Shines like the sun in all of its brilliance
The King of Glory, the King above all kings

[Chorus]
This is amazing grace
This is unfailing love
That You would take my place
That You would bear my cross

You lay down Your life
That I would be set free…
Oh, Jesus, I sing for
All that You've done for me

[Bridge:]
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Worthy is the King who conquered the grave
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Worthy is the King who conquered the grave
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Worthy is the King who conquered the grave
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Worthy, worthy, worthy

Oh
This is amazing grace
This is unfailing love
That You would take my place
That You would bear my cross

You lay down Your life
That I would be set free…
Oh, Jesus, I sing for
All that You've done for me
All that You've done for me
