How We Benefit From Jehovah's Love

 "Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners." - 1 TIMOTHY 1:15.

IMAGINE giving someone you love a special gift that is both beautiful and practical.  How disappointed you would be if that person put it in storage and gave it no further though! On the other hand, you would surely be pleased if he or she put your gift to good use and expressed appreciation for it. What is the point? Jehovah has given his Son in our behalf. How Jehovah must be when we show gratitude for that precious gift and for his love, which moved him to provide the ransom! - JOHN 3:16; ROMANS 5:7, 8. 

As time passes, however, we could begin to take the gift of the ransom for granted. It would be like putting God's gift in storage.  We are happy to have it, but we keep it out of sight. To prevent that from happening, we must regularly renew our gratitude for what God and Christ have done for us. This article can help us do that. We will discuss how we benefit from the ransom now and how we benefit from it in the future. We will also consider how we can respond appreciatively to Jehovah's love, especially during this Memorial season.
