The power of God’s grace; the unmerited favor. No one can earn the love of God, it was given unto us before the foundation of the world. “According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:” (King James Bible, 1976/2017, Ephesians 1:4). God’s love has no end; it doesn’t matter where we are or where we have been, he will always love us. Performance, which is the work of the law can never be a ransom for God’s grace. We must understand that the finished works of the cross made all things possible for us. “It Is Finished.” Acceptance in the faith of all that’s done is a profound victory. Grace is enough, in all that we have to accomplish in this life. “According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:” (2 Peter 1:3). I encourage all those who haven’t received Christ as Lord and Savior to make him so today. Pray this prayer of repentance; Jesus, I thank you for the grace which you are. I accept your love for me and forgiveness. I accept you in my heart as my Lord and Savior today, thank you for the finished works of the cross. Amen

We can’t take no credit for God’s work; it is his grace that made us who we are. “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast” (Ephesians 2:8-9). In all that we do, we must remember that God loved us before we were saints. “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Roma...
