Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. For this reason also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, of [...]

I ask: What was achieved on the cross? PROPITIATION: Appeasement of an offended party from wrath or anger. REDEMPTION: What is required in order to liberate from oppression, enslavement, or another type of binding obligation. JUSTIFICATION: Divine, forensic act of God, based on the work of Christ upon the cross, whereby a sinner is pronounced [...]

Psalm 119:89-94a
God’s Word is life to me. These are not words I speak lightly or out of obedience as the proper words for a daughter of the King to speak. No, I speak them as one who has known hunger, and who has known need; as one who has fallen and one who has been lost not. In these things, out of the depths of my need I can say, “God’s Word is life.” It has brought light into my darkness, and strength into my weakness. It brings hope into my broken places, and feeds my hungry soul. Truly Lord, “I will never forget your precepts for by them you have given me life.”
The Word saves. The Word strengthens, and is everything to those of us whose hearts desire to be fully His.
Lord, thank you for your Word, and for your faithfulness. You are God, and I am yours.
His alone,
Nicole
