Made Alive in Christ!!Ephesians 2:8-10 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-- 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. 10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Fact 1: For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith Meaning 1: The only way to be saved is to have faith in Jesus and ask Him to come live in your heart.

Fact 3: not by works so that no one can boast Meaning 3: We cannot say that we earned salvation, our works do not save us and we cannot be good enough. Our works are to show that we love God and to earn His favor and rewards. But salvation is a gift alone. Question 3: Do I make sure that people know that their works are not for salvation, but for show that they love God and want to please Him? Fact 4: For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Meaning 4: God created us to do good things, He created us to be saved and has work for us to do that was planned before the world began. Question 4: Do I like like I was created by God? Is my life showing His love for others, so they know that they have the same opportunity? Take Away!! I need to make sure that I am living as though I am saved by grace, and living so that others want what I live in my life. Father, thank You for reminding us that we are not worthy of your salvation, but You gave it to us anyway. In Jesus Name, amen!!
