Today's scripture: Ephesians 2:4-7
Yesterday, I wrote that if we’re not following God, we’re following His enemy.
We’re “dead people walking.” But when we commit our lives to Christ, we are
“made alive.” And it’s because of God’s love, His mercy, His grace, and His
kindness.
God loves us so very much, and He freely showers us with mercy, grace, and
kindness.
Mercy … “compassion or forbearance shown especially to an
offender or to one subject to one's power.”
Grace … “unmerited divine assistance given humans for
their regeneration or sanctification.”
Kindness … “the quality or state of being kind; favor; benevolence.”
We don’t deserve any of these precious gifts. We don’t deserve being “seated
with Him in the heavenly places.” We don’t deserve His love.
But He does love us: "God loved the people of this world so much that
he gave his only Son, so that everyone who has faith in him will have eternal
life and never really die" (CEV, John 3:16). That’s how much He
loves me. That’s how much He loves you.
Have you accepted God’s amazing gifts of love, mercy, grace, and kindness? He’s
waiting.
