God’s Amazing Grace
“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9)
God’s grace is amazing! Let’s just take a moment to ponder it. None of us deserve it, we deserve hell, but because of God’s unconditional love we are forgiven, through Jesus. There is nothing we can do to get to heaven. There is nothing we can do to make God love us any more and nothing we can do to make Him love us any less. God loves us all and He gave us the free ticket to heaven. Jesus Christ paid the ultimate sacrifice for us on the cross. He paid for every one of our sins: past, present, and future.
Out of love we should obey God, but never forget that it is not by works, but by grace through faith of Jesus Christ that our sins are erased. God’s grace allows us to live in freedom and joy from condemnation in our daily life and on our final judgment.
Praise God!
“For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.” (John 3:17)
