BY GRACE AND BY FAITH
Source
Ephesians 2: 8-9
Because by grace you are saved by faith; and that is not yours: it is the gift of God; not for works, so that nobody can boast.
We have received salvation as an unmerited gift that came from God through our faith in Christ. In the world we were dead and hopeless, however, God's abundant mercies covered us with the immensity of his love. We did nothing that had a high price that made us deserving of God's grace. We were spiritually dead as a result of sin, however, God showed his love for us that in the midst of that death, Christ died for all of us, to give us great salvation.
It is important to understand that we are saved by grace through faith, and we must learn to live our daily lives in the same way. Grace is something that cannot be won, but only received as a gift.
Grace is the power of God to help us in areas where we cannot help ourselves. In John 15: 5, Jesus tells us: "Without me, you cannot do anything." Therefore, we need help in every area of our life. If we are going to live a victorious life, we must realize our weakness and set aside our independent attitudes.
In Galatians 2:21, the apostle Paul said that if he did not receive the grace of God, that would mean looking less at his gift, frustrating his purpose and making it invalid. Grace always flows in every situation, but it must be received with faith.
We must be very careful, because many of our frustrations are the product of trying to do things on our own, with our own strength, instead of putting our faith in God and receiving His grace, that is, his help.
When we understand the meaning of grace, we can overcome many frustrations and struggles that may be robbing us of the joy and tranquility of life. We must understand that the grace of God is what helps us make important changes in our lives and in our family. Never try to change on your own without taking into account the grace of God. Her husband and children can only change, through the grace of God in their lives, do not try to force their relationship in their family looking for the changes that only God can make through His grace. Also keep in mind that healing, prosperity and your growth in ministry depend only on the grace of God.
We must have in
consideration that only God allows us to succeed in Him and not outside Him.
Finally, my dear reader, I invite you to pray for the changes that are still needed in your life and to trust in the grace of God.
