THE GIFT OF CHRIST
by Chip Brogden
 

"If God did not spare His own Son, but freely delivered Him over to death
on our behalf, how will He not also, with Him, freely give us all things?"
(Romans 8:32)

When God wished to test Abraham, He did not ask him to sacrifice a sheep, a
ram, or a cow. He did not ask for Abraham's gold or silver or tents or
possessions. He went right to the heart of the matter and asked for Isaac,
the son of promise. How gladly Abraham would have given anything and
everything but his own beloved son. But in the willingness to give up his
son, he was, in essence, laying everything down on the altar. When God owns
what the man loves most, He owns everything the man has.

In the same way, the Father, wishing to demonstrate His great love for us,
has not given us parts and pieces of things, but has sacrificed His only
Son. By giving us His Son, He has, in essence and in fact, freely given us
everything. When man possesses what God loves most, he owns everything God
has. This is why I say we have little else to ASK God for, but much to
PRAISE Him about: for IN CHRIST, God has freely given us all things.
