By the Grace of God 🌟

It is by grace you have been saved.

A timely reminder that we should always be conscious of.

Earth falls whenever I come across Christians who are caught up in their pride, believing that their righteousness within their capacity is why they have received salvation.

One of the biggest mistakes you could ever make, as a Christian, is to think that you can justify yourselves according to your works.

There is a reason why Jesus had to come to earth.

No matter how many times man had tried to fulfil the standards of the Law, they could not do it. They could not be righteous on their own. Every time they tried to, sin would interfere, and their actions would be ineffective.

God didn’t wait for us to show signs of perfection before He sent his son, Jesus Christ, to the earth. No. When man was drowning in their sin, as far away from God as possible, Christ came to the planet.

When human beings were nothing but dead souls walking, Jesus Christ went to the earth. He was not moved by what He saw. The state of man did not make him shout in hopeless angst.

Jesus knew what He was coming to face. He knew that He would encounter ignorance. He knew that He would encounter people who would not understand anything He was saying.

He knew he would be beaten, mocked, and scorned. He knew that He was going to be crucified on the cross.

Jesus knew all of this, but did not stop Him from fulfilling God’s will.

Even in Gethsemane, where He wept as He thought of what He was about to face, Jesus rose and continued the mission.

He knew that humanity’s fate depended on His sacrifice, and He counted us worth the pain.

God saw us as worth sacrificing His Son for our sake.

We did nothing to merit it.

We did nothing to deserve it.

We deserved the damnation headed our way, but God didn’t focus on that.

He focused on saving us so that we could be reconciled to Him.

We, as His children, and He as our Father.

Amen
