As a young, new disciple of Jesus, this was the first Bible verse I intentionally memorized. It clearly identified what Jesus did the moment I received His free gift of salvation and participated in the great exchange: my old life for His new life, living, moving, and working in me.
Not only did it impact me in that moment, but it also changed the entire trajectory of my life. As I read it again this morning for the hundredth time, the joy of my salvation washed over me, flooding me with gratitude and overwhelming joy. Amazing grace, how sweet the sound!
