"For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast." Ephesians 2:8,9
When you read these verses in Ephesians what comes to mind? What does it mean to you that that God has given you his grace. That despite our efforts and energy, despite our rebellion and insistence on being our own saviors God gives us himself. He saves us that we might boast in Him. That Jesus would be the source, focus and center of our joy.
It's December now. A time when we think about what to give others, what we want to receive, but have you paused today to ponder the gift of God- the gift of grace? How does this effect Christmas? By grace you have been saved, through faith, by God alone. Jesus died for sin, so that we might be set free. Free to revel and rejoice in Jesus.
