Knowing that you have life and that it was paid for with a terrible price,showing us just what lengths God would go to to redeem us and just how much He loved us and that it is ALL on someone else's account,namely, His ONLY begotten Son, is like a bomb going off in the human heart.

It sure is.

That's why when someone asks us of how we can be sure that we're saved, we can say *yes*. It's not a matter of *feelings*. The change is so profound that it is simply beyond comprehension or explanation.

You KNOW.

An apt analogy on your part in light of Acts 1:8 where Jesus said they'd be clothed with power from on high.

dunamis: (miraculous) power, might, strength

Definition: (a) physical power, force, might, ability, efficacy, energy, meaning (b) plur: powerful deeds, deeds showing (physical) power, marvelous works.

"...in light of Acts 1:8 where Jesus said they'd be clothed with power from on high."

Amen sister "if the Son makes you free ye shall be free indeed" and it is that realization that will buckle us at the knees and lift us up at the same time like little else will.Oh what love He has for us!

Thankyou Lord Jesus!
