Wednesday Weapon 12.7.11

Ephesians 2:8 "For by grace are you saved through faith, it is a gift of
God."

One of the things that I am so grateful for is the Grace of God. God is so good to us, even when we don't deserve it. I know sometimes that he blesses us inspite of us, and not because of us.

Grace is comonly known as Gods unmerited, or undeserved favor in our lives. Even our Salvation is a gift from God. There was nothing we could do to save ourselves. God loved us enough to send His Son to die for us. He says that He surrounds us with favor. Favor is a gift from God, you don't earn it, it is freely given.

I like what the Message Bible says about grace,"Its Gods gift from start to finish"! Salvation and all the benefits that come with it was His idea from start to finish. Our part is to believe His Word to be true. You don't earn Gods gift of grace, if you did, it would be a payment to you. It would no longer be a gift.

Thank God any one can receive the free gift of salvation. We can also receive the free gift of God's grace. It was His idea from start to finish!

Thank you Father for Your Grace that You have given to us. We are not trying to earn it, we just by faith in Your Word, receive it. Thank you for all the benefits that we have as your children. Thank you that it was Your idea, from start to finish.
