"8For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; 9not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.
10For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them." Ephesians 2: 8-10
Pastor Graham preached on Ephesians 2 yesterday in church. It really spoke to me on how so many people view religion these days. If we could train ourselves to see the world through a scripture based lens instead of looking at scripture through a world based lens what a difference it would make.
Some people believe in religion by subtraction, taking away things in their lives that they believe will hinder them from getting in Heaven. Some people believe in religion by multiplication, any religion will get you to Heaven just choose one. Others believe in religion by division, if you divide yourselves into a perfectly cut shape with perfect edges that will get you into Heaven. However, we were saved by grace through faith. Jesus died for all of us, if we would just ask him into our hearts we will one day rejoice in Heaven with the Lord.
Once you ask him into your heart you will be surround by christian brother in sisters that will help and enable you to do good works. Good works do not get you into heaven but allow you to share the word of Jesus Christ with the rest of the world.
How powerful a message....
