Jan. 27 - Fourteen

Eph. 2:1-10
8For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9not by works, so that no one can boast. 10For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. If you don't know these verses I would highlight them and make sure you understand the importance of these verses. It is by grace that we have been saved!!! It has nothing to do with us, what we do or who we are but it is a gift from God. Notice also in verse 10 that we are created to do good works for God, once we receive His grace. All this has been predestined for us before the beginning of time. It is truly amazing grace to think that God would grant this to us even when we don't deserve it. Amazing!!!!!!

I love that these verses are all about God's grace and mercy.
I think that we all take it for granted, but we should all realize how amazing and forgiving our God is !!!

We should be so excited that God chose us, so excited that we should share the word with everyone we know!!!

I was watching an episode of Two and A Half Men, and in the episode, one guy was so excited about some news that he had he just blurted it out to complete strangers even !!!
- That's how we should be with God !!!
