Introduction "For to me to live is Christ..." That just about sums it up for me. He is the reason for living and I have no other purpose than to glorify Him and enjoy Him forever and to pray that my loved ones will also love Him and worship Him forever. Over 26 years ago, Christ saved me from my self-righteous ways and showed me that all my efforts and good deeds before Him amounted to a pile of filthy rags. What a revelation when He showed me how badly I fell short of His perfect standard of holiness! Praise be to God for His indescribable gift of Christ. He, my Perfect substitute, paid for the penalty of my sins and satisfied the wrath of a Holy and Just God which should have fallen on me. Yet my God, because of His infinite mercies, has forever accepted me as His own by the blood of Christ and I have all of eternity to thank Him for opening my eyes to behold His Amazing Love and Mercy to me!
