What are the Benefits? Part Four

Paid vacation, paid sick leave, 401K, and stock options are all benefits that you might have in certain jobs.  Then there are other benefits that might not be mentioned when you first decide to take the job or join the group.  Wellness program, education program, discount program.

Maybe being part of this organization has the potential to bring other things that you may have never thought possible. 

This is lesson four of a Four Part Series exploring the benefits of justification in the believer’s life.

Romans 8:35-39 NASB  Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?  (36)  Just as it is written, "FOR YOUR SAKE WE ARE BEING PUT TO DEATH ALL DAY LONG; WE WERE CONSIDERED AS SHEEP TO BE SLAUGHTERED."  (37)  But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us.  (38)  For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,  (39)  nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Many organizations, give bonuses or extra benefits.  Paul asks the question who will separate us from the love of Christ?

Well, who will?  Paul goes on to list all the things that cannot separate us from the love of Christ.

What a bonus!  It is simple God longed to restore the separation created between Him and man.  Remember this happened as a result of Adam and Eve sinning in the Garden.  However, God loved of so much that He sent Jesus as the sacrifice to reconcile us back to Him.

I used to work for a company that gave me a $4000 Christmas Bonus and I felt like they really cared.  When you compare that amount to what Jesus did there is no comparison.

The Love of Christ with us always!!!!!  Now that’s a bonus
