I've been thinking
about grace, God's grace. The first thing that came to mind is that it's
God’s grace that gives us eternal life. It isn't that we have, or even
could, do anything to deserve it, but through the grace of God, it is
available to us.
"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith -
and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God."(Ephesians 2:8)
and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God."(Ephesians 2:8)
That's a short verse, but it packs a powerful punch, doesn't
it? There's nothing you can do yourself. Absolutely nothing. But it's through
your faith in God, that Jesus' death covers your sins, and God gives you this
amazing gift. The gift of faith, the gift of His Son, the gift of grace.
