Faith and Grace

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.

EPHESIANS 2:8–9 NKJV

It is wonderful to realize that salvation comes by the free grace of God and can be easily received through simple childlike faith. Thankfully, we don’t have to work for our salvation because Jesus has already done all the work. We receive by faith alone! I believe the same way that we receive forgiveness of our sins and eternal life (salvation) is the same way that we should live out our daily lives. We should mix our faith with everything we do.

Faith is the leaning of the entire human personality on God in absolute trust and confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness. When we go through life leaning on Him in absolutely everything, He will always guide us and give us the strength and ability to do whatever we need to do. The good news is that you never have to try to do things on your own! God has sent the Holy Spirit Who is your helper, so ask for and receive the help you need today and every day, and relax in God’s love, mercy, and grace.

Trade all your fears, anxieties, and worries for simple faith and enjoy your day!
