We are saved by someone doing for us what we cannot do for ourselves. -Lester
Ephesians 4:30, And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
I am so thankful God, in His grace and mercy, saw fit to send His only begotten Son Jesus to die on the Cross of Calvary. Without Him coming, we would be without hope and help in this world. You see not only did He come and die, He got up from the grave three days later conquering death, hell, and the grave for you and I. It gives us help; we cannot do anything to get to Heaven in our own strength. We also do not have the strength to keep ourselves saved. But God saved me and He keeps me! Friend, that gives me hope for today and tomorrow!
Have you been saved? If so, you didn’t do it in your own strength and power. God keeps us saved in His power as well! I don’t have to worry about working for it. I don’t have to worry about losing it. All I have to do is enjoy the salvation He has provided, walking in His will for our life being eternally secure.
Ephesians 2:8-9, For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Psalm 35:9, And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD: it shall rejoice in his salvation.
