Thoughts on Today’s Reading

Grace, mercy and salvation from Christ to you.

Trusting Christ for salvation brings us contentment. Knowing we remain in God’s grasp and care, we are eternally secure-despite our ongoing struggle with sin. Salvation depends entirely on God’s power, not believer’s perfection. Because Jesus Christ fully paid for our sins on the cross, our eternal life is a free gift of God’s grace. Since we did not earn it, we cannot lose it when we stumble. We remain safely held in God’s grace.

As we believers grow in faith in Christ, our desire to serve God matures. God’s Spirit increasingly frees us from self-focused pursuits. Maturing believers progressively and rightly realize that everything belongs to God. He deserves our devotion in everything we do and our dedication of everything we own. God blesses and empowers every work that glorifies Him.
