Jesus Paid it All

One of my favorite hymns of all time is Jesus Paid It All! I enjoy attending the Vespers service at Bethel University in St Paul, MN. Every time they play that song I just can feel the Holy Spirit fill the room.

Jesus Paid it all! All to Him I owe!

Here is a little shout out to Kaleb and Shane! A couple of Brothers in Christ of mine! They started an Acoustic Project and it is awesome, are know as ninety9for! They both have an amazing heart for God! I am encouraged to see other men so in love with God! Keep up the good work brothers!



The beauty of this song speaks about how Jesus paid the cost for us! We did not deserve it, yet he paid the cost. As the snow is falling outside the window I am reminded of the line in the song, sin had left a crimson stain, he washed it white as snow!

If we are in Christ we have been washed white as snow! No matter what happened to you in the past, no matter what you have done, or said, or seen! Jesus paid it all!! All he asked is return is to live by his Spirit!

Romans 8:1-4
1 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, 2 because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in the flesh, 4 in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

So how do we live by the spirit? We die to ourselves daily and give Jesus our lives 100%. We are made fully alive when we live in the Spirit! We were dead to sin, but Christ makes us alive in his Spirit!

Romans 12:1-2
1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

If you feel like I am preaching that is because I am! I am convince that we live in scary times! We live in days that I don't think we could have ever imagined! There are people even in the church that have not given their lives to Christ. They have not died to themselves so that they can be made alive in the Spirit! And I am sorry to be so blunt, but those people...

...will go to Hell if they do not surrender to Christ!

I do not say this to scare you! I say this in love to show you the way! If I did not love each and everyone of you I would not write this! If you are reading this and you have been made new in Christ! Amen I stand beside you in worship to God! If you have not experienced the Grace and Mercy of Jesus Christ, please we do not know how long we have on this earth!

Romans 10:13
13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

If you have questions please comment on here. If you do not feel comfortable commenting, email me at tyler.roland5@gmail.com. I am convince that everyone needs Christ. Not everyone will see that in time, but I pray that if you are reading this and you have not made that decision, NOW IS THE TIME! Email me, if you have my number, call me, if you know where I live, find me. This is life is to short to waste it on nothing! Do you want your life to have a purpose? Live for something bigger then yourselves!

  1. Love the song, love the blog. This song reminds me of how when I think I deserve something because I'm pretty good. Then I remember what I deserve. I'm a sinner, I deserve hell. But, Jesus paid it all. He has saved me. Awesome thoughts Tyler!
