Included
“He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?” (Romans 8:32).
There is an old story of a ship passenger who lived on crackers and cheese all the way across the Atlantic Ocean only to learn that his meals were included in his ticket.
Our salvation includes far more than pardon from sin, deliverance from hell, and a ticket to heaven. It also includes all that we need on our journey through this world. Sin has been dealt with at Calvary, but the Lord Jesus is not only our Saviour, He is our full resource and sustenance for our spiritual life. We are not to subsist on our own “crackers and cheese.” We have everything we need in Christ. “For all things are yours” (1 Corinthians 3:21).
What an all-inclusive ticket to heaven we have! The cost was God giving His Son for our sins. Now as a result of that great sacrifice we have “all things.” Throw away your “crackers and cheese!” You have a right to eat in the main dining room.
