Theme for the Week: THE LAW AND GRACE
Reading: Ephesians 2:8-9
_______________________
Ephesians 2:8 (NIV)
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—
Most people think of the favour done them as grace. While favour came to meet the unfairness of the world, grace came to justify the condemned as someone without any guilt.
When God saw that the world is not fair to treat His people fairly, He brought favour. Grace came because God saw that all have sinned and fallen short of His glory, and that the wages of sin is death, thus, grace replaced the death penalty of sin with life.
This is a work that can never be achieved by our own efforts, which is why we cannot boast. It is a gift of God which no man can manipulate, so yearn for the grace of God that you may be saved.
Stay blessed.
Let's Pray:
Glorious Father, we thank Your grace made available in Christ Jesus. Lord God, may You draw all men to Your grace, in Jesus' name. Amen.
