Saved By and Through God’s Grace
READ: Romans 4: 23-25
KEY VERSE: Being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that
is in Jesus Christ. –Romans 4:24 (NKJV)
Grace is the most powerful word in our English language that expresses God’s
affection, commitment and dedication to us. It captures the depth and height
of God’s love.
God taught me a lot about His grace through my children. They depend on
me for everything – food, clothing, health care, education and knowledge of
God. They bring me joy and cause me worry. They sometimes embrace my
teachings and counsel and often reject my guidance. They are blood of my
blood and flesh of my flesh.
Perhaps the greatest thing that God revealed to me through fatherhood is
the fact that even though sometimes my children rebel against me, I still love
them. They can do nothing to change that. God feels the same way about us.
Through God’s redeeming love, we can be saved and secure in this earthly life
and life eternal. –Rev. Delton Nichols
LOOKING WITHIN: How can I recognize and thank God for His grace?
God, thank you for the height and depth of your grace that is all sufficient.
Amen.
