**The Gift of Grace**
“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.” This passage underscores the fact that salvation is a gift, not something we can earn.”
Grace is God's unmerited favor, a gift freely given to us despite our imperfections. It's the foundation of our salvation and the source of our strength. Understanding grace transforms our perspective and frees us from the burden of striving for perfection.
Ephesians 2:8-9 declares, "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." This passage underscores the fact that salvation is a gift, not something we can earn.
Consider how you view grace. Do you accept it freely, or do you feel the need to earn God's favor? How can you extend grace to others, recognizing that they, too, are recipients of God's love?
Guided Prayer: Dear Lord, help me to understand your Gift of Grace and share it with others.
