Day 1: Saved by grace
for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, that no one would boast.
New faith often comes with pressure to “perform” for God. Paul anchors salvation in gift, not grit.
“For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works.” You belong because Christ saved you—not because you cleaned yourself up first.
Are you resting in grace, or still trying to earn a welcome?
Practice: Thank God out loud that salvation is His gift. Father, I receive Your grace through faith in Jesus. Amen.
