Words of Encouragement

 

March - 23 - 2008

 

No matter how hard we try, how good we are, or how much we work, we can never measure up to the only standard that matters, and that is the glory of Almighty God. Thankfully, God doesn't require us to pretend to be what we are not -- perfect, spotless, and holy. Instead, God makes us to be these by grace, through the gift of his Son who purchased our pardon and gave us his righteousness. Praise God. Praise our Savior, Christ Jesus. Now let's live with Jesus as our Lord; not to earn or secure our salvation, but to thank Him for what He has so freely given us!

The Bible reading for today is found at Romans 3:23-24.

23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
24 being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus;

Let us go to our heavenly Father in prayer.

Most precious and holy Father, all we can say to your marvelous grace is thank you! Please know that while these words are so inadequate, they are genuine. Dear Father, we look forward to showing you through the rest of our lives how much we appreciate all that you have done for us.

In Jesus' glorious name, we pray.

Amen.
