Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior. But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation—

Only He had the means and ability for reconciliation--and He was willing. He still is. That's humbling and awe-inspiring. Yes, I'm compelled by grace.

Good post.
I was lost and undone, but because of God's dear Son, I am reconciled and placed into His family. I am now a child of the King.
I enjoyed your choice of scripture and your words.

I loved it... who can imagine for us that it was "one drop of blood"... with the sin in my life I would have expected buckets full only splotching me... and yet...
