Romans 5:8 “But GOD shows HIS love for us in that while we were still sinners, CHRIST died for us.”
Planned Before the Beginning!
If we were to stand in their places, once confronted by GOD with their sins…
We would see firsthand Calvary’s blood bought example.
Love’s prototype gift, like CHRIST’s crimson, back then.
For what Adam and Eve didn’t know was the shedding of blood must be made.
For GOD performed both without man’s intervention…
thereby making the way for us to be saved!
HalleluYAH! HIS gift, was displayed through a lamb…
and then done at the Cross to redeem sinful man!
See? HE showed us way back at the start…
where the very beginning required shed blood.
Praise GOD, all who listen, for HIS blood’s promise kept!
As HIServant ever amazed that HIS truths and examples are never ending,

Devotional: Ephesians 5:2 “
And walk in love, as CHRIST loved us and gave HIMSELF up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to GOD.”
Titus 2:14 “WHO gave HIMSELF for us to redeem us from all lawlessness
…and to purify for HIMSELF a people for HIS OWN possession who are zealous for good works.”
What promise…GOD never fails!
But when Adam and Eve did in the garden, GOD made a way.
And! As HE alone made the first blood sacrifices for Adam and Eve.
In like manner, so HE alone through CHRIST, made the final, eternally lasting sacrifice
…without any animal blood on the cross NOR…any of ours!
As we rejoice daily, we have HIS reminder in Hosea 6:6 .
“For I desire steadfast love and not sacrifice, the knowledge of GOD rather than burnt offerings.”
HE’s completed the final sacrifice and given us a new commandment…to love one another!
So give HIM the highest praise for HE showed the pattern of HIS perfect and priceless love…
…all the way back at the beginning!
Amen and amen!
