One of the most beautiful paradoxes in God's wisdom is sovereign grace. The same grace that is unmerited is unstoppable. ~ Amazing Grace Quotes ~
If there is one thing you will never do yourself is to earn your way to heaven. One of the most beautiful paradoxes is God's sovereign grace. We don't deserve it, nor can we achieve it by our good behavior of deeds.
Today's Bible verse says, "For it is by grace [God’s remarkable compassion and favor drawing you to Christ] that you have been saved [actually delivered from judgment and given eternal life] through faith. And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [not through your own effort], but it is the [undeserved, gracious] gift of God; not as a result of [your] works [nor your attempts to keep the Law], so that no one will [be able to] boast or take credit in any way [for his salvation]." Ephesians 2:8&9 Amplified Bible
This verse tells it like it is! We are delivered from judgment by what Christ has done for us. It's not the result of our own works or effort to keep the Law, but God's undeserved favor. We have nothing to boast about or take credit for it. It's an undeserved gift because of our faith in Jesus.!
One of the most beautiful paradoxes in God's wisdom is sovereign grace. The same grace that is unmerited is unstoppable.
