Ephesians 2:8-9
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.
Inspiration.
If our salvation was dependent on what we do, if we could be redeemed by doing good works (activities), then we could lose it if we stumble.
But our salvation is a gift from God – given freely to those who accept Jesus as their Saviour.
Salvation shows the Infinite great love, mercy, compassion, goodness, and amazing grace of God towards His creation.
Prayer (for you)
Heavenly Father,
Thank You for Your amazing grace that saves to the uttermost everyone who comes to You in faith.
Because having faith in You, the Creator God is pleasing to You.
And believing in God, believing that You exist and that You are a rewarder of those who diligently seek You, also pleases You.
Lord, thank You for Your Infinite love and saving grace for me.
Your grace that is greater than every sin, every iniquity and every transgression.
Lord, because I am saved by faith, I will live a holy, godly and consecrated life, completely dedicated to You.
And I will have the fruit of the Holy Spirit – love, joy, peace, patience, goodness, gentleness, kindness, self-control, and faithfulness to God.
And I will tell others of Your Plan of Salvation, Your amazing grace, and Your sacrifice of love for humanity’s salvation.
Lord God, Lord Jesus, I praise and thank You, glorify and exalt You.
In the name of Jesus. Amen.
Hymn.
Marvelous grace of our loving Lord.
Grace that exceeds our sin and our guilt.
Yonder on Calvary’s mount out-poured.
There where the blood of the Lamb was split.
Chorus.
Grace, grace, God’s grace.
Grace that will pardon and cleanse within.
Grace, grace, God’s grace.
Grace that is greater than all our sins!
Marvelous Infinite grace, matchless grace.
Freely bestowed on all who believe!
You that are longing to see His Face.
Will you this moment His grace receive?
Grace, grace, God’s grace.
Grace that will pardon and cleanse within.
Grace, grace, God’s grace.
Grace that is greater than all our sins.
