It holds nothing back from one's beloved. Jesus gave himself for our sake and for our redemption. His obedience and death on the cross obtain for us freedom and new life in the Holy Spirit. His cross frees us from the tyranny of sin and death and shows us the way of perfect love. There is a great paradox here.
Death leads to life.
The cross of Christ leads to victory and freedom from sin and death. When my will crosses with his will, then his will must be done. Lord Jesus, I profess and believe that you are the Christ, the Son of the living God. You are my Lord and my Savior. Make my faith strong and help me to live in the victory of the cross by rejecting sin and by accepting your will.
