A simple reminder

Ephesians 2:8-9 "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"

The text goes on to say that we have been saved "for" good works and not "by" them (verse 10). These are works that the Lord has prepared beforehand for us.......even before we got saved to begin with. That's a sobering thought - knowing that God knows the fully-developed picture of us. We did nothing to earn this favor with God - and there is really nothing we can do to keep this favor as it has been sealed for all eternity because of Christ. It is being kept for us, in us and through us by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Just a random thought for the day.......
