The favor of God that he blessed us with in Christ Jesus is his unmerited favor that can't be earned. Where would we be without God's favor? On a road that leads to death. "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 6:23). Could anyone save themselves from the sinful nature in which we were born? None could and none can. This was God's perfected love for us which gave us the favor of eternal life in Christ. "For he hath made him be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him" (2 Corinthians 5:21). Do you believe that God plan was already design with you in it?

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...
