Verse of the Day:  Ephesians 2:8      

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith; and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.

Salvation is a gift graciously given from God because of His great and eternal love for us. You cannot buy it, earn it, work for it or get it based on your own abilities. It is the free, undeserved goodness and favor of God and it is a gift you can only receive by faith. Through God’s plan and His covenant of grace, Jesus paid for this gift when He died on the cross for our sins. As believers, everything we have, everything we are and everything we do is all because of God’s saving, forgiving and redeeming grace that blesses us all.

Lord, thank You for the precious gift of salvation. Thank You for giving Your life so that we may be saved. Thank You for the forgiveness of our sins, for Your redeeming grace and for blessing us more than we could ever deserve. Amen
