FOR BY GRACE

Scripture:  Ephesians 2:8, 9 “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.”

     The Bible says in John 3:16– “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”  And in John 5:24– “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”
    We cannot save ourselves.  He paid the price!  It is the gift of God!  We can’t brag about what we did to save ourselves, for He did it all!  Titus 2:11-13 says, “For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;”
    In Titus 3:5-7 we are told “Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.”
    We cannot do enough good works to merit salvation.  We can’t earn it and we can’t buy it!  He did it all!  Have you trusted in His grace for salvation, today?  Have you put faith in Him and His finished work on Calvary to save you?  If not, why not do it today?
