There’s No One Like God Who Died for Me

What kind of God leaves the splendor and majesty of heaven to die for me? My God. So there’s no one—person or god—like God who died for me.

Because the Bible tells of our need for a Savior to save us from our sins. (See Romans 3:23; 6:23)

How amazing the one true God not only created beings for His good pleasure and relationship with Him.

But God also provided a way back to Himself when the first humans disobeyed Him.

This way back to Him came through the incarnation of God, His Son. Christ suffered and died for all humanity

The God who died for me created me in His image.

Out of great love, God created humans in His own image. 

“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.” Genesis 1:27 (ESV)

“For you formed my inward parts, you knitted me together in my mother’s womb.I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.” Psalm 139:13-14 (ESV)

God didn’t have to create me or you, but He chose to. He wanted to. And He took great pleasure in forming us into His image to reflect His glory.

This same God pursued me.

“For thus says the Lord God: Behold, I, I myself will search for my sheep and will seek them out.” Ezekiel 34:11 (ESV) 

Also, the Good Shepherd leaves the 99 sheep to pursue and find the one lost sheep. (Luke 15:4-7)

Just imagine a God with such extravagant love that He never, ever stops pursuing us. He continually seeks us out, even with others safely in His fold. He leaves the 99 for us every time.

No one like God who died for me.

Our God, in His lovingkindness, left His throne room in heaven and became flesh. Jesus Christ, the incarnation of God, never lost an ounce of His deity. Yet, He came to die for me and for you.
