Love, Grace, and His Finished Work

You should never stop listening to the message of Grace. The bible says "God is love" (1 John 4:8).  And Grace came through Jesus Christ. All that Jesus has done for us on the cross at Calvary is key. He has redeem all of our sins, past, current and future! Yes, as long as you believe and have faith.

Are you thinking, 'Is it that simple? There must be something I must do to be saved! It cannot be that simple!'

No no no no no no. Remove all the above wrong beliefs. Trust and have faith in what Jesus had done for us and believe. IT IS THAT SIMPLE! Actually, having faith and trust is not as simple as you thought. It is actually the most difficult part to believe it is that easy and that good. The gospel of Jesus would not be called the Good News if it is not this simple.

"I (Jesus) brought glory to you (God) here on earth by completing the work you gave me to do." John 17:4

Jesus's finish work on the cross made us righteous in the eyes of God if we believe, have faith and accept Christ as our Lord and Savior.

"In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace which He lavished on us." Ephesian 1:7-8

Do you what God sees when He sees you? Jesus.

How else do we need to prove that God loves us?

"For God so loved the world, that he have His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16

Grace is God's kindness given to us without us earning it (called the unmerited favor). And Jesus is True Grace and He was sent to the world to redeem us from eternal death. John 3:16 must have been the most important verse from the bible. See the above verse "whoever believes in Him ... have eternal life." All it takes is to believe!

"For it is by grace you have been saved...not by works" Ephesians 2:8-9

How much clearer can this verse be? Is it not literary enough to be easily understood? It is not about what you did or going to do, it is about what Jesus had done on the cross. Through His blood and sufferings, we are saved. As a result, we serve God not out of arrogance (because of what we have done) or fear (of the religious law or karma), but we serve out of gratitude - because we feel the love of God through Jesus Christ.

Always always remember, "we love because He first loved us." 1 John 4:19

Dear friends, remember; Love and Grace. Live a happy life in Christ. Do not condemn yourself, do not condemn others. Let us all have the freedom to love, and by living that life, we make the world a better place.

We pray:

Lord Jesus, thank you for loving me and dying for me on the cross. Your previous blood washes me clean of every sin. I declare you my Lord and my Savior. I believe that you rose from the dead and that you are alive today. Because of your finished work, I am now a beloved child of God and heaven is my home. Thank you for giving me eternal life, and filing my heart with your peace and joy. Amen.
