What Is the Best Gift of All? -Continue with Same

Satisfies our desire.  We humans have a strong innate desire to keep on living. (Ecclesiastes 3:11) Although we are on our own we are unable to satisfy that desire, the ransom makes it possible for us to do so.  The Bible says:  "For the wages sin pays is death, but the gift of God gives is everlasting life by Christ Jesus our Lord." -Romans 6:23.

Fills our need. Humans could not provide the ransom.  The Bible explains:  "The ransom price for their life is so precious that it is always beyond their reach." (Psalm 49:8)  Therefore, we were in desperate need of divine assistance in order to be released from bondage to sin and death.  But "through the release  by the ransom paid by Christ Jesus," God has provided just what is needed. - Romans 3:23, 24. 

Is perfectly timed.   The Bible tells us:  While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8) Because it was given "while we were yet sinners," the ransom provides  assurance of the depth of God's love for us despite our sinful state.  And it give us much to look forward to, even though we have to endure the consequences of sin. 

Note: Always remember, it takes more courage to live in this wicked world, than it does to die in our own hands. God is more proud of us when we endure whatever comes our way the best way we can.  Only God can make a little easier on us if we believe, trust, love, worship, have faith and trust in him only.  Without him, it can only get much worse than we can imagine.
