No Gimmicks, Please! Something New "R"

July 30


Double your order today for free!
After comparison shopping online for over three hours for printed cocktail napkins, I about "lost it".  Each site looked to have an amazing deal.  The "double your order for free" sounded amazing, until I realized the original order was "double the price" of the other sites.
Last month our son in law was saving up for a great 30% off your total order at a pharmacy.  It was later that he realized even with the 30% off, Target would have been less expensive.  There are no real deals except Jesus! God has no gimmicks!  The gospel is clear and simple.

If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.  Romans 10:9  


The "R" glossary terms in my Bible go right along with this process.  


Repent -to consciously turn from sin to God; to be sorry for what you have done and to resolve not to do it again.  
Redeem - to obtain release by paying a price, to buy back.  
Redeemer - one who delivers from bondage or trouble.  Though Jesus is not specifically called "Redeemer" in the New Testament, he is the one in whom believers have redemption.  
Redemption-deliverance and freedom-described in the New Testament as freedom from the penalty of sin by payment of a ransom.  Through his death on the cross Jesus paid the ransom for us an set us free.

Just give me Jesus!
