God looked down on a world that has gone crazy.  Everyone is doing his or her own thing and no one is standing up for what is right.  What is right anyway?  The religious leaders are placing burdens on us that are to heavy to bear and we are without hope.  What is God going to do?
Think about what was going to transpire and what that would have meant to God.  God who is all knowing knew that only a perfect sacrificial lamb would do.  The only sacrificial lamb around that fit the bill was His own Son.  God would have to sacrifice His own Son to enable us to know Him.  Would you give up your son to save a selfish, wicked, and perverse group of people?  God would.  Why did He do it? He loves us!  Did he get what He was looking for?  Yes!
God was looking for a way to bring us close to Him when we had no right to be there. Jesus died so that we would have a way to be in love with God.  "For God so loved the World…  He gave His Son".
We need to think on this more and complain less.  Jesus die for you!  You did not deserve that, but God loves you that much.   Grace is what it is all about!

The 4 Great Deliverences in a Christians life

1. From sins, judicially, through the imputed righteousness of Christ. Ro. 3:21-4:25
2. From sins, experientially, through the shedding of God's love. Ro. 5:1-11
3. From hereditary sin, judicially, by inclusion under the new headship of Christ. Ro. 5:12-7:6
4. From hereditary sin, experientially, through the inward operation of the Holy Spirit. Ro. 8

These come from the writings of J.Sidlow Baxter "His Deeper Work In Us". According to Baxter few Christians arrive at the 4th deliverence. They continue to struggle with the flesh.
