Scripture: For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-- Ephesians 2:8 NIV Application: No other religion has the provision of being rescued (saved) without any working. Christians like us are undeserving recipients of a Gift that we could never earn. We have no basis for strutting around like we are something. But at the same time, we are something: Loved. That alone is why the benevolent, charitable, and merciful God made the Ultimate Sacrifice and gave His most precious Son (Himself) to be tortured and killed. Love for us. Prayer: We come to You with a genuine mixed feeling of helpless humility and ecstatic empowerment, dear God, because You have saved us. Amen. Comments are closed.
