“God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it.”

Ephesians 2:8-9 NLT

Today, Pastor Bob revisited this verse to remind us what a true gospel is.

I really needed it today because I felt guilty for not being productive and watching TV from 2 pm to 9 pm.

My mind is so good at criticizing me for being lazy, but thank God that He doesn’t see me the way I see myself. 

I can’t earn salvation through my actions; it’s a gift that will always be available to me. This is the only ultimate good news I will ever need in my life.

Thank you, Father, and happy Father’s Day! Even though I lost my earthly father, I now have a heavenly Father. I am honored to be your child.
