Today's Favorite Verse: Ephesians 2:8-10
"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.
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them."
I am saved by grace, a gift of God, through my faith in my Lord Jesus Christ. My works do not do it, because I cannot save myself. It took Jesus Christ to make that sacrifice and gift. Now does God want my works and do they count for something? Absolutely, for after my faith in Jesus I must do good works as He has done. It is ordained of God that we walk in this path.
"For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also."
(James 2:26)
Day 4223
