Devotion for Wednesday after Lent 1

But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol,
For He will receive me. Selah.
~ Psalm 49:15

In Jesus, we are redeemed from Death and Hades. We will not be rewarded justly for our misdeeds, but we will rewarded with God’s grace through the Blood of Jesus. The Bible tells us the saints of God will rule with Jesus in the new heaven and the new earth. Instead of being consigned to eternal punishment, we will be royalty, ruling the world. This is all God’s doing—nothing we have ever done or will ever do will justify us. Nothing can save us but the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. Thanks be to God for His salvation!

Thank You, Lord, that I am saved by the Blood of Jesus. I don’t have to fear hell, because I will not only avoid punishment but I will rule with Jesus in the new heaven and the new earth. I deserve eternal damnation, and I praise You and worship You that by Your grace, You give me eternal life. In the name of Jesus. Amen
