Salvation Is A Gift

Good Morning!! God made us His own forever,...by choice,...and out of love. Nothing could be sweeter than to hear that God has chosen us, and that He has permanently welcomed us into His family! What directed this love, this choice? Not our good works or right decisions, or family heritage. It was according to the good pleasure of His will, that He chose a people to be adopted into His family. Not because of anything in us, but because of the goodness within Himself,...directed by His perfect will.

He predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with His pleasure and will,...to the praise of His glorious grace, which He has freely given us in the One He loves.—Ephesians 1:5-6 (NIV)

God's predestine and sovereign design for salvation was, like everything else that He does, ultimately for the good of His people,...and to the praise of His name. This adoption gives comfort to us, and it gives all the glory to God. Not to the glory of man, as being worthy or lovable, but to the praise of the glory of His grace,...in that He would choose unworthy, and powerless children, to be saved.

The salvation that is in Jesus Christ is predestined. It is not an accident or a backup plan, on God's part.

Lord we just thank You today, for life,...and everlasting life.

Feed Your faith, and your doubts will starve to death."
