But now thus says the Lord... "Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine..."
Isaiah 43:1 ESV
Redeem.
gain or regain possession of (something) in exchange for payment.
We're now in God's possession. Nothing can snatch us away...so we have no reason to fear.
We can't be rejected.
We can't be lost.
Failure is not fatal or final because we have been accepted by God. His heart is for us.
And the payment?
The cross.
Jesus was rejected so we won't be.
Jesus was lost so that we can't be
In what seemed to be the most epic fail of all time... the price for our redemption was paid.
Once and for all.
For all time.
Because He loves.
He knows your name...

Genesis 15.8-18.ESV But he said O Lord God , how am I to know that I shall possess it? ...When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram... March 15 was the last day we looked at Abram's story...he was questioning God and this is God's response...sacrifices and smoke and fire and a covenant...a promise... Isn't that what we crave for sometimes? God, if only you'd just show me smoke & fire, a burning bush a sign, miracle, healing...then all my questions would disappear...all my doubts would be gone... 2moro we'll see Abram's response but I think God values our faith in spite of our questions and doubts. That we choose Him anyway #faith
