"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God" (Ephesians 2:8, NKJ).
We serve such a loving, gracious, and generous God. He loves you so much that there isn´t anything He wouldn´t do in order to have a relationship with you. The Bible tells us that sin separates man from God. But God doesn´t want to be separated from you. That´s why He sent His Son into the world-to pay the penalty for sin so that you and I could live in eternity with Him.
So many people today think they have to earn their way to heaven. They think they have to be "good enough" or "do the right thing" in order to be accepted by God. They want to "clean up" before they come to Him. But notice what today´s verse says-salvation is a gift from God. You can´t earn a gift. You don´t pay for it. You can only receive it by faith. If you´ve never made Jesus the Lord of your life, I encourage you to receive this free gift. Let Him fill you with His eternal peace and joy so that you can live the abundant life He has for you. For those of you that have fallen into sin and have lost that intimate relationship with our Savior "I Encourage You" to reaffirm that gift today!
Prayer for Today:
Heavenly Father, I come to You today giving You all that I am. Thank You for the gift of salvation through Your Son, Jesus. I believe He died and rose for me and invite Him to be the Lord of every area of my life. In Jesus´ Name. Amen.
