After the death of one of the richest men in the world, someone asked his financial advisor, "How much did he leave?" To which the advisor answered, "Everything!"

In Galatians 1:4-5 we read, "Who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us out of this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, to whom be the glory forevermore. Amen."

In one simple statement we have before us a summation of our heavenly Father’s redemption plan for each of us. The love of God has been manifested through the perfect sacrifice for our sins. The Lord died for each sinner, for you. Paul included himself in the statement, just as we should include ourselves. This age shall perish, it will not last, it cannot. Our only hope is deliverance. Jesus is the way. He loves you and died for your sins. Do not turn away from Him now, and, if you have, come home. His grace and mercy make it possible.

This has all been according "to the will of God." He has planned especially for you. To reject His plan, and to turn to sin and a world of temporary gain is foolish. He has something much better for you. If Christ came back today, where would you stand? With His dying breath upon the cross, He was thinking of you.
