—For there I see the love of God (Romans 5:8).
—For there I see the value of one soul (Galatians 2:20).
—For there I see the blackness of sin (2 Corinthians 5:21).
—For there I see the preciousness of blood (Ephesians 1:7). Jesus shed His blood in His death (John 19:34); and we are baptized into His death (Romans 6:3). Furthermore, the blood washes away our sins (Revelation 1:5–6) through baptism (Acts 22:16). Therefore, in baptism we contact the blood and our sins are remitted.
—For there I see man’s inability to save himself (Ephesians 2:8–10).
—For there I see God’s willingness to save (2 Peter 3:9).
—For there I see God’s desire for unity (Ephesians 2:12–16).
—For there I see the essentiality of the church (Acts 20:28).
—For there I see the abrogation of the law (Colossians 2:14–17).
—For there I see that untold blessings can be enjoyed (Colossians 1:14).
—For there I see the need for separation (Galatians 6:14).
—For there I see there is a cross for me (Matthew 16:24).
—For there I see the fulfillment of prophecy (Zechariah 12:10).
—For there I see the gates of heaven open (Mark 15:38).
