The 12 Joys of Christmas: The Joy of Grace.
Many people struggle in today's world when it comes to justification. We all want to justify something we said or did because we feel we are right. Many will also justify themselves in their works in their life when I ask one question... "Do you think you will go to heaven, and if so, why?" Some will say yes, and that they have lived a good life and have helped some people and attended church. Some will give more detail than others. But really in the end.....we cannot get to heaven on our own accord. Nothing we do in this life will ever earn us the reward of heaven.
Ephesians 2:8-9 "For by grace you have saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast." esv Its not our works that get us to heaven. Only by trusting in Christ Jesus do we have salvation. And only because of Christ's gift to us, do we have heaven as a reward. If I could choose only one gift to receive in my entire lifetime, I would with out a doubt choose the free gift of salvation. No other gift will ever match the weight and worth of that one gift. It is wrapped in love, and was delivered by the hand that loves us most.. God's hand.
Accept His free gift. In the end it will be the best thing that has ever happened to you"!
