Ephesians 2: 1-10 v 8 “God saved you by His grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God.”
Once you were dead due to your sins, obeying the devil. He is the spirit at work in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God. By our very nature we were subject to God’s anger, just like everyone else. But God is rich in mercy, loves us so much, he gave us life when He raised Christ from the dead. God saved you by His grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.
God’s plan is good. It was made at the beginning of time when He created a garden for us to live in. Man wanted more so we were separated from God. Eventually God realized that He had to change the rules and so He raised Christ from the dead and if you believe in the living Christ through God’s grace you are saved, so you can do the good things He has planned for you.
I believe in the risen Christ. Does that mean I don’t do things that might make God angry. No. In our journey through this life there are many complex things that make us who we are. And it is a relief to know that it is not up to me, but by the grace of God that I am saved. A love so big that He has room for all of us. Be kind today and show God’s love to all those you meet today.
Prayer: Heavenly Father who by the death and resurrection of your son Jesus Christ gave hope to all the world that love is good. Give us today an abundance of your love to share with others through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
