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. For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.
Ephesians 2:8-10
You might already know these, but sometimes the truths that are most common are the ones we need to revisit and really let sink in.
You are saved by grace!
All you have to do is believe in God. He does the rest!
God’s grace is a gift!
You don’t have to earn God’s love or favor or help. In fact, you can’t! All you can do is receive the gift of His love, forgiveness, and grace.
You are His masterpiece!
God is so delighted with who you are and how He made you.
You are made new in Jesus!
You are not the mistakes you’ve made. God calls you a new creation and sees His beloved daughter every time He looks at you.
He has good things planned for you to do!
If you feel aimless or insignificant, you can trust that God has a plan and purpose for your life. Ask the Holy Spirit to guide you each day — He’ll show you what to do.

Yes God will show you through his Holy Spirit each day how to live for him. We that are saved if we ask him. Today’s 5 truths are so of how good God is to us. We can’t take credit for it. As we have not one of us done anything to deserve them. God give us them because he loved us. We should thank him for that and thank him for every day he wakes us up to enjoy another day in his beautiful world. No matter what is going on it. No matter how man might that is not saved might try and destroy it. We look that are saved beyond that. See it as beautiful as God made it. His word has loads more truths for us to hold on to and claim over our lives for us that are saved. All we have to do is read it and believe them over our lives. Thank you incourage for today’s reading and the 5 truths you have gave us that are saved to apply over us and believe over our lives. I say Amen to that. Dawn Ferguson-Little xx

Thank you! These 5 truths are vitally important! And it’s important to remember them. If not it can easily lead us into a performance mindset and we become religious. Thank You Abba Father for choosing us and loving us. I’m so grateful that I am always with You because You said I will never leave you or forsake you!

In Courage,
Sometimes we/I need to hear those truths again. Last fall my job duties changed drastically. I was not content with the new position. Felt like God had made a mistake in making me. Was hopeless. Thankfully I have a great church, hubby, friends & God. He got me through that dark period. Now I am content with the job. I am made anew. Thanking God daily for everything He provides-including dark & hard times, forgiving me, pulling me up when I stumble.
Blessings 🙂

Amen to these truths, but don’t forget repentance. Our broken and contrite hearts over our sin, in my opinion is an essential component.

Amen!

Amen! This is a healthy shot of faith against the viral lies from the enemy, to be renewed until complete immunity, aka, when Jesus Christ comes back.
