You Are Abundantly Free

Because of the sacrifice of the Messiah, his blood poured out on the altar of the Cross, we’re a free people—free of penalties and punishments chalked up by all our misdeeds. And not just barely free, either, abundantly free! He thought of everything, provided for everything we could possibly need, letting us in on the plans he took such delight in making. He set it all out before us in Christ, a long-range plan in which everything would be brought together and summed up in him, everything in deepest heaven, everything on planet earth.

Ephesians 1:7-10 MSG

Jesus poured out His blood on the cross because of the Father’s great love for you. With that blood, He purchased your freedom and set you, not just a little free, but abundantly free! You are no longer punished for your sins when you become God’s child because Jesus took the punishment for you on the cross. He provided at that moment for absolutely everything you would ever need. He took delight in making plans for you. He is delighted in you, He smiles over you, and you are so loved. As you go about your day today, remember that you have everything you need in Jesus to live the life God has put before you to live. As you live that life, remember it gave God delight to plan it for you.
