Ephesians 2:8-10 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this not from yourselves, it is a gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”
We should do work for God because we are
motivated by our love and thankfulness for what He has given us. Salvation is something we couldn't have gotten, or done for ourselves. We don’t
do work to get God to love us, that’s a given, and He gave!
We
are God’s creation, His perfect work of art. God sent His Son to die for our sins, He is the perfect
gift. Jesus saved us from the deadly cancer of sin that can kill us
unless surgery, and the proper medication is taken. Jesus is the Great
physician, and all the medication you need! He is a gift from God, and
grace is a gift that should be accepted if you truly want to live. Just
like you would accept a gift from a loved one who gave you something and
said, “This is for you, you need it, so open it.” By faith you would
open it. You don’t owe that person anything because it was a gift freely
given. Sometimes the gift isn't what we wanted, but our loved one knew
we needed it.
O.K.,
if we were to look at sin like cancer, you would need to put your trust
in doctors and whatever they tell you, you need to have done to get rid
of it. You don’t want to go through with all their telling you, but you
need to, to live. So by faith and trusting them, and only they can do
for you what you can’t do for yourself, they operate and get rid of the
cancer. If you didn't trust them, or have faith in all the procedures
that needed to be done, the cancer would have killed you. That’s what
sin does if we don’t let Jesus be the CURE ALL! We will die in our sin.
Now wouldn't it get you mad, after all you've been through, if someone didn't believe you had cancer but you have the scars to prove it. Well,
there’s an empty cross, and by faith when you look at it, it’s your choice to believe what happened upon it or not.
I know one day I will see His nail scared hands, and it was all for me.
My loved One knew what I needed, and I choose to believe it now, by
faith.
People don’t easily forget
what the doctors did for them, and the cancer that would have killed
them. Please don’t forget what Jesus did for you, because it,
“Should’ve been me, it should’ve been us, hanging there on that cross. It should leave us saying thank God for this heart He changed and this soul He raised. My God, THANK YOU FOR TAKING MY PLACE!!!!”
