What A Gift!!

Ephesians 2:8-10   "For by grace are you saved faith through; and that not of yourself: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hadth before ordained that we should walk in them."

How are we saved? The Bible very plainly says it is by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Faith that Jesus' shed blood on Calvary can cleanse us of our sin. Faith that He can change the old life that we could not. This is God's gift to everyone that believes in Jesus as then- Lord and Savior. It is a gift that no one can become good enough to earn or ever deserve. God says no man can boast of his own salvation

God has a plan for those He give this gift. They have been created unto good works through Jesus Christ. Isn't it wonderful to know God not only saves us but will make us into the person He wants us to be? Our lives will have quality and beauty.

Praise God for the gift of salvation and a full and meaningful life.
