“Free by GRACE through FAITH”

Ephesians 2:4-10

V4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love which He loves us,

V5 even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ, it is by grace you have been saved,

V6 and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places, in Christ Jesus,

V7 in order that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in  Christ Jesus.

V8 For by GRACE you have been saved through FAITH; and not of yourselves, it is the GIFT of God;

V9 not as a result of works, that no one should boast,

V10  for we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

We serve our KING JESUS because we walk in full awareness of the GREAT GRACE IN WHICH WE NOW STAND! We REST in the peace of Christ knowing that our salvation is secure because of the FINISHED work of Jesus Christ on the cross! Hallelujah!

GRACE IS NOT A FREE FOR ALL–for we are called to be sanctified and holy. But without the grace of GOD, we would never be FREE from the torment of sin in the first place.

It all boils down to LOVE. If you love someone, would you take advantage of them? If you LOVE someone, would you lie to them? If you LOVE  someone would you misrepresent yourself to them? If you LOVE someone would you protect their reputation? If you LOVE someone, would you suffer for them?

I LOVE my JESUS because he has SET ME FREE from the bondage of SIN, DEATH, and HELL. I am forever changed by His LOVE!❤️❤️❤️

I don’t waste precious time worrying about whether or not my good works are enough. Instead, I spend my time as a TRUE worshipper, celebrating and praising God for the finished work of JESUS and then focusing on spreading the GOOD NEWS of JESUS CHRIST!!

You see, it isn’t good news to tell someone, you are saved by grace through faith–UNLESS…..

That is FEAR. Jesus says to us “YOU ARE MINE. No one can snatch you from the FATHER’S hand”. Hallelujah!!

So today, hold your head high knowing you are a daughter or son of the KING–a member of HIS ROYAL FAMILY with an inheritance that will NEVER perish, spoil or fade!

Make sure everyone you speak to today and tomorrow knows how GOOD the GOOD NEWS really is!!!

Condemnation and fear won’t bring a soul to freedom and true deliverance! Only the LOVE, GRACE and POWER of JESUS CHRIST can TRULY SAVE!!!

Hallelujah!
