Commanding Your Morning devotion 03/04/2024
Verse:
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.”
Explanation:
These verses from Ephesians emphasize the foundational role of God’s grace in our salvation.
Salvation is a gift from God, not something we earn through our own efforts or good works.
It is received by faith in Jesus Christ, acknowledging Him as Lord and Savior. This underscores the unmerited nature of God’s grace, highlighting His love and mercy toward humanity.
Prayer:
Gracious God,
We humbly come before You, acknowledging that our salvation is entirely by Your grace. Thank You for the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ, which we receive by faith.
Help us to live in gratitude for Your grace, knowing that it is not by our own works but by Your love and mercy that we are saved.
Empower us to share this message of grace with others, that they too may
experience the joy of salvation in Christ. In His name, we pray, Amen
