A living, loving, personal Saviour',

Back to Treasures from J.R. Miller

We are in the habit of saying that Christ saved us by dying for us on the Cross. In an important sense this is true. We never could have been saved — if He had not died for us. 

But we are actually saved by our relation to a living, loving, personal Saviour  — into whose hands we commit all the interests of our lives; and who becomes our Friend, our Helper, our Keeper, our Burden bearer — our all in all. 

Christian faith is not merely laying our sins on the Lamb of God, and trusting to His one great sacrifice; it is the laying of ourselves on the living, loving heart of one whose friendship becomes thenceforward the sweetest joy of our lives! 

"The life I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me!" Galatians 2:20
