Re:Verse passage – Ephesians 2:8-10 (day three)
“For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.”
There is nothing so disheartening as to experience rejection, with its accompanying message that you aren’t good enough, lovely enough, desirable enough, important enough, valuable enough for inclusion in a family or a friendship or a project or an assignment or an adventure. When others have somehow found the key to being a person of worth and it seems you’re relegated to the status of also-ran, that’s lonely. Christ broke through that system. No longer will people lord their significance over you and look down on your lesser status. The Lord himself — not any worldly system — has declared you treasured. Enough said.
And yet we have a major world wide denomination who continues to tie works to salvation, clearly denying the truth of Scripture in the process. We must continue sharing the truth of the Scriptures to an often large misled group of people. May God bless our church and those who minister there.🙏🙏
A few years ago I wrote what you said, How can we become unlovely to God fact we don’t become unlovely to God. I wrote this in my Bible. Thank you for reminding me of this in your blog today.
