“No man can redeem the life of another or give to God a ransom for him—the ransom for a life is costly, no payment is ever enough—that he should live on forever and not see decay”-Psalm 49:7-9 (NIV).
You can’t pay the price for others to enter into everlasting life. There’s not enough money in the world! When you accepted Jesus, the Holy Spirit (the down payment from God), entered your body. You no longer belong to yourself; you are bought at an exorbitant price. You belong to God and you are a new creation (1 Corinthians 6:19-20; 2 Corinthians 5:17). Jesus said “it is finished” and gave up his Spirit (John 19:30). “It” is a small word…but those two letters represent the greatest single act of love the world has ever seen. You can share the good news about “it,” but you can’t give “it.” Jesus is the [only] Way (John 14: 6).
