"For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast."
Ephesians 2:8-9
God's amazing grace. It exceeds all sin. Every sin for anyone who places their faith in Christ. No one has ever been able to perfectly keep the Ten Commandments (the Law). They only expose how sinful we are. The law cannot save. Only God can save through His grace, and we are never beyond it. His arm of grace reaches far beyond our greatest fall and brings us to Him. His grace is a free gift that can never be earned. We don't deserve it. And that makes it all the more wonderful.
So true my friend. I am so thankful for that wonderful gift!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sue. I find a need more of His grace every day. :-)
ReplyDeleteJesus rescued me from the futile attempt of trying to earn His favor by law keeping (which is a miserable way to live) and opened my understanding to His marvelous grace that has brought so much joy into my life. Thankful for the Giver and His wonderful gift!
