How can I repay the LORD

Daily Thought
Saving Private Ryan
Captain John Miller gave his life to save Private James Ryan. Captain Miller whispered his last words to Private Ryan, "Earn this. Earn it."
Fifty years later, James Ryan kneels at the cross above Captain Miller's grave. "Every day I think about what you said to me. I've tried to live my life the best I could. I hope that was enough. I hope that at least in your eyes I've earned what you have done for me."
That's a good movie.
Saving Dave Price
Jesus Christ gave his life to save the world. To save me. I didn't earn it. I haven't earned it. I cannot earn it. Jesus did.
This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe.
--Romans 3:22
Jesus spoke last words to me, to all of us, as well, "Enjoy it."
That's the Good News.
I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.
--John 15:11-13
To God's Glory,
Dave Price
Daily Prayer
My God and Savior, You are good. Your Son even said, "No one is good, but God alone." Certainly not me. Yet, you have given me righteousness. Not mine, but the righteousness of Jesus Christ. What a gift. Thank you God. I don't have to be good enough. I don't have to earn Your salvation. I receive it.
May the Name of Jesus be praised, be honored, be worshiped. My God and Savior. May my life not earn salvation, but point to salvation through Your Son.
Amen
