Covered!

“How do you want to be covered?” That is a question asked on a particular automobile insurance company’s commercial. The response of individuals on the commercial range from being “fully” covered for every possibility to being “able to sleep at night” covered. The focus of this commercial is this insurance company’s claim of willingness to listen to the customer’s needs and provide all the coverage desired. “That’s how I want to be covered” is then the closing response of the advertisement.

How do we want to be covered? How many have their houses, vehicles, health, property, and even pets covered by insurance, but have given little thought to matters beyond this life?

In Paul’s letter to the church at Rome he quoted the psalmist’s words. . .
“(7) Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, and WHOSE SINS ARE COVERED; (8) blessed is the man against whom the Lord will not count his sin.” ( Romans 4:7-8) [from Psalm 32:1-2]

Paul went on to point out that this blessing was not just for Jews, but for all who walk in the footsteps of the faith of Abraham. ( Romans 4:9-12) What we have in Christ is full coverage that includes “LIFE insurance” of an eternal kind, “TRANSPORTATION insurance” for safe passage from this realm to the heavenly one, and “HOME insurance” for a dwelling we will have for eternity. Could we not call that, “able to sleep at night” coverage?

Praise God, in Christ, such a blessing has been made possible with the insurance premium paid in full by the blood of Jesus and coverage that is one hundred percent with no deductible. Yes, “Blessed are those . . . WHOSE SINS ARE COVERED”! That’s how I want to be covered!

Have a great day PRAISING THE LORD HE’S GOT US COVERED!
