We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are.
Romans 3:22 NLT
Jesus Christ makes us right with God. He is the repairer of the broken relationship with our Heavenly Father.
No one in their own power can make themself righteous. So quit trying. Quit striving. Quit cutting yourself off from Christ. Give up. And fall into the arms of grace.
Jesus said to His disciples, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, it is difficult for a rich man [who clings to possessions and status as security] to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man [who places his faith in wealth and status] to enter the kingdom of God.”
When the disciples heard this, they were completely astonished and bewildered, saying, “Then who can be saved [from the wrath of God]?”
But Jesus looked at them and said, “With people [as far as it depends on them] it is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
Matthew 19:23-26 AMP
It is impossible for people to save themselves from the coming wrath of God.
There’s only one way to eternal life, receive it as a free gift from God. It’s offered freely to anyone, no matter who you are. God’s grace is for everyone.
Place all of your faith, hope, trust and love in the Savior of all, our Lord Jesus Christ, and He’ll take care of the rest.
Jesus, save me! Amen.
We’re saved by faith. Works are an expression of our love. Works without love are useless. Words without love are useless.
Grace, faith, mercy, and love. These are the hallmarks of the Kingdom.
Give up.
God tells me that all the time.
Give up your own ways and accept Mine.
The way to peace is the way of love.
The way to faith is the way of grace.
Have faith, little children. God above loves you very much. Rest in His love today. Grace wins every time.
Religion fails every time.
Walk with God. Amen.
Father in Heaven, now that You have found us, we give You our full permission to make us as You see fit. Let us not strive to make ourselves something. Instead, we are made by the hands of God into Your image and likeness. Thank You, Father, for saving us from Your justified wrath against all unrighteousness by justifying us by giving us our undying faith in Jesus Christ, the One who cannot die and lives forever. We join with You today by grace. Give us more faith. Multiply Your grace today through us! Amen.
Can we boast, then, that we have done anything to be accepted by God? No, because our acquittal is not based on obeying the law. It is based on faith.
So we are made right with God through faith and not by obeying the law.
Romans 3:27-28 NLT
