5 reasons I love Christ

So both Jesse Phillips (prophetically speaking) and Joe Martino (searching the sunsets) have "tagged" me, whatever that means. Basically I have to write 5 reasons I love Christ. Hmm. I haven't read other people's "Tagged" posts in a while, so if I'm totally copying people with my answer or the passages I cite, I'm sorry. It was not intentional.

1) My first answer will be obvious. I love Christ because He has acquitted me of my sins. I will not be held accountable for the hell-deserving things I've done.
"Since we have now been justified by His blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through Him!" Romans 5:9.

2) I love Christ because through him I am no longer in bondage to my sin nature. I have achieved freedom from sin through Christ. I have now died to the law that I may live through Christ.
"19For through the law I died to the law so that I might live for God. 20I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." Galatians 2:19-20

3) As dc talk says, "I am still a man in need of a Savior." I love Christ because although Christ has conquered the power of sin in my life, I am still a wretched sinner, and although sin is still waging it's war in my soul, He continues to be my Savior. He continues to forgive me my sins.
"but I see in my members another law waging war against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin that dwells in my members. Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin. There is now therefore no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." Romans 7:23-8:1

4) I love Christ because through his atoning death on the cross, I now know that I will spend eternity in His presence, with his church, bringing him glory forever and ever. I don't simply have victory over sin in this life, but through Christ I have victory over sin's just punishment, hell. God's presence will bring me eternal joy, not eternal terror.
"I did not see a temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp." Revalation 21:22-23

5) Lastly, I love Christ because of all the blessings He has bestowed on me. My family, my friends, basketball, biscuits and gravy, Church, Red Bug, 24, 1$ double cheeseburgers, CSI Miami, Sovereign Grace, John Piper, spaghetti, New Orleans, Buttermilks, 1$ mcChickens, more basketball, CJ Mahaney, great music, David Caruso, Metro Life, Brad Paisley, all my neices and nephews, 1$ chicken nuggets. Truly I have been richly blessed.
"He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?" Romans 8:32.
