What a beautiful reminder in today's reading. I particularly love the reminder of what Christ has given ME. The GIFT of New Life. A gift that makes me RIGHT in His site! I couldn't earn it. I still can't earn it. I just love it so much. Sign me up. Yes Please!
“Once we, too, were foolish and disobedient. We were misled and became slaves to many lusts and pleasures. Our lives were full of evil and envy, and we hated each other. But— When God our Savior revealed his kindness and love, he saved us, not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He washed away our sins, giving us a new birth and new life through the Holy Spirit. He generously poured out the Spirit upon us through Jesus Christ our Savior. Because of his grace he made us right in his sight and gave us confidence that we will inherit eternal life.”
Titus 3:3-7 NLT
I just want to scream from the rooftops, "Don't try to figure it out People. Don't worry about getting it all together. If we had to do all that first what kind of gift would it be? It wouldn't be a gift at all. We would have earned it. That's not a gift at all!"
