He delivered us from the penalty of our sin. God developed and put His plan into place before the beginning of time, and He has followed it consistently and perfectly throughout history to come to the point where “at the right time,” Jesus paid the ultimate penalty of death for sin, not with our righteousness, but with His perfect righteousness.

As we are embraced by the love of God, let us (in return) embrace the love of His Son Jesus Christ. Let us celebrate God’s plan as it was devised, executed, and is now tri- umphant as the Gospel advances through
His Son, our Lord, Redeemer, Saviour and King.
