This is your scripture for today, may it empower you. Please share widely and make someone's day.
“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 KJV
We receive salvation though believing in the sacrifice made by Jesus Christ when He died on the cross and rose again. Grace -undeserved, unmerited favour or gift arising from action on the side of God towards mankind. The word of God is packaged with the capacity to bring faith in the heart of the hearer. Faith comes by hearing the word of God (Romans
10:17). So faith is also given as a gift. The supernatural faith of God is given to us by grace or as a gift that enabled salvation to happen.
Salvation is everything God provided through Christ's atonement and includes forgiveness of sin,healing, deliverance, prosperity, joy, peace, love, emotional satisfaction, guidance, success etc.
Point of reflection
Would you thank God for the gift of salvation?
Would you acknowledge that He also supplied the faith we need to receive every promise He has made for us?
