One of the reasons why many people like mathematics is because it is exact. For instance, when you say, "a gallon of milk" how do you know whether it is one or two drops off or for that matter a thousandth of a drop-off.

When God gave his life for you through the body of Jesus Christ he opened up a new world to you that is exact.
Romans 6:11 In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
The word, "count" is the word in the Greek λογίζομαι, that is translated logizomai and speaks of accounting, book work and mathematics. What God did for us was absolute and exact! He's wanting us, in a sense, to "do the math" to see how wonderful and glorious are the things he has given us and has done for us. God has given you his grace and has provided a way for you to live in his glory. It is critical that you do the math today! It is truly crazy and amazing; far beyond words and description!
