For it is by grace you have been saved,(through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works,(so that no one can boast.~ Ephesians 2:8-9
There are times when I feel like I’ m not doing enough and I begin to question my salvation. But this is a lie from the enemy for salvation is not earned, but rather received as a free gift of God. The work that I have to do is believe and trust in His promises. I have to stop thinking that my salvation is dependent upon me. That’s pride talking. If I could save myself I wouldn’t need Jesus.
The urgency to do should stem from a place of love. Not to earn, but rather to demonstrate my love and gratitude.i can’t prove myself. I must cling to Jesus and know that He says that I am enough because I am His creation and His child. There is no condemnation in Christ Jesus ( Romans 8:1),
Lord, help me to rest in Your finished work on the cross. Help me to do out of love and not because I think I have to earn your free gift. Grant me peace as I walk in your purpose. In Jesus name. Amen
