Saving Gace

We spend most of our lives working. We are designed to work in order to get what we want. For the most part we are busy people. However, there is one thing we cannot earn. Salvation! Ephesians 2:8-9 tells us, "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast." Try all we want, we cannot gain eternal life through our own efforts. The Apostle Paul tells us that it is by grace that we are saved. The only way to receive God's grace is to have faith in Jesus. Salvation is a gift that God gives to us. We can give to charities, we can help our neighbors, we can treat others respectfully, but none of it will save us. Faith in Jesus saves us. There is no other way. Nothing we can do is enough to earn our way into eternal life. For those who believe in Jesus and place the faith in Him, God gives the give of salvation. There is nothing about it that we can brag about. We can't point to the good we do. Everything is about faith in Jesus. We need to stop trying to be good enough and start trusting in to one person that provides us with the best gift ever. The free gift of salvation is through faith in Jesus.
