God Did!
But God so rich is He in His mercy! Because of and in order to satisfy the great and wonderful and intense love with which He loved us, Even when we were dead (slain) by [our own] shortcomings and trespasses, He made us alive together in fellowship and in union with Christ; [He gave us the very life of Christ Himself, the same new life with which He quickened Him, for] it is by grace (His favor and mercy which you did not deserve) that you are saved (delivered from judgment and made partakers of Christ’s salvation). Ephesians 2:4-5 Amplified Translation
THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
Everybody say: “But GOD DID!” God did what you could NOT do yourself! You could not do anything to save yourself except to receive what God has given you, His Son. There is ABSOLUTELY NO other way to be saved or to get to Heaven!! I cannot think of anything else I’d prefer God to be rich in besides His Mercy & His Grace. I know many of my failures, my shortcomings, sins, and transgressions. I know how I was before I received His mercy and grace. Without His mercy to pardon, and without His grace to send Jesus to redeem us back from our sin, I would be lost and without God, I would be on my way to a fiery eternity. Now, because of His rich mercy, my life is tied to Jesus’ future and not the one I earned for myself. I am, because Jesus did. I live because Jesus died (for me). There is NO other way! No other religion, no other god, no other road to Heaven except through Jesus Christ. There is ONLY ONE WAY!
MY PRAYER
Father of all grace and mercy, I give all thanks to You. I thank You for being such a loving Father and Lord. Thank You for extending Your grace when I have not deserved it. Thank You for giving Your mercy when I most needed it. Thank You for giving life when I thought my life was doomed and hopeless. May my health and wealth be found in Your mercy and grace much more than in money and gold. Help me, Father to be more like Jesus each and every day. Through my Lord, and my Saviour, Jesus, I pray.
Amen
