Scripture: Ephesians 2:8-9 (NIV)
“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast.”
God’s grace and forgiveness are two of the most profound gifts we receive as believers. Grace is the unmerited favor of God, a gift we do not earn but are freely given. Through grace, we receive forgiveness for our sins and the promise of eternal life. Ephesians 2:8-9 reminds us that our salvation is not something we can achieve on our own; it is a gift from God.
When we fully embrace God’s grace and forgiveness, we are set free from the bondage of sin and guilt. We can live with joy and peace, knowing that we are loved and accepted by God. Let this truth transform your life and relationships.
