Grace-filled Faith

     We need to constantly remind ourselves and others that Jesus did all of the work on the cross for our sins to be forgiven. He was fully God and fully man, the only perfect man to walk the earth and God poured out His holy wrath upon the one perfect man to take upon Himself all that we deserve.

     There is nothing we can do to earn it. As humans we think if we do good works, it is enough. “I am a good person,” is a common theme, but no one is good enough, no not one.

As it is written, “There is no one righteous, not even one.” Romans 3:10

     The gospel of Jesus makes no sense to the human mind. He finished the work when He cried out on the cross,

When He had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, He bowed His head and gave up His spirit.  John 19:30

     It is only God’s grace that gives us this free gift of eternal life. What can we do? Receive it through faith; grace-filled faith. Yes, it is undeserved mercy, amazing grace. Once you say, “Yes!” to Jesus as your Savior, you, too, can believe His Words, “It is finished.” You are saved. Fall in love with Jesus today. He will transform your life as you place your grace-filled faith in Him.

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-not by works, so that no one can boast. Ephesians 2:8-9

Dear Father,

How can we thank You for a gift such as this? Remind us daily to spread this good news to everyone we know. Jesus has finished the work we could not do for ourselves. He finished it all on the cross for each one of us.

Amen
