Ephesians 2: 8-10
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of GOD, not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ JESUS unto good works, which GOD hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
Oh, what a gift, what a wonderful gift!!! JESUS Christ, the Messiah, Redeemer of the world, born in time. JESUS came from timelessness and was bound in time for 33 years. We are about to celebrate His willing entrance into time, so that He could work out the Father's plan for our salvation. This grace given to us, we receive by faith. We can not work our way to GOD, the work was done for us by JESUS. We can, right now, receive that grace and embrace the one who won it for us.
The plan of Salvation was worked out by GOD, it is the good work that brings redemption. All of our work is our thank offering to GOD. Remember the 10 lepers, how 9 went away to the Priest to be restored to social acceptance, but the one returned to give thanks to JESUS? Well, we are put in the cross-roads of this story; do we go on and accept our salvation, be restored to fellowship with other like-minded Christians and go our way rejoicing, or do we run to JESUS and fall on our knees with thanksgiving in our heart for all that He has done. In the end of this story, JESUS says: Thy faith hath made thee whole.
Christmas time is the best time for us to kneel before JESUS and praise Him for His love for us. Then, where He leads us, we will follow, never departing from His path. Every work that is good comes from GOD alone.
TELL MY PEOPLE THAT I LOVE THEM. I LOVE YOU, SIGNED, JESUS.
