Ephesians 2:8
Ephesians 2:8
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Have you ever felt like the weight of your mistakes and failures is too much to bear? We all make mistakes and fall short of the standards we set for ourselves and others. Sometimes, we may feel like we are not worthy of love or forgiveness. But Ephesians 2:8 reminds us that we are not saved by our own efforts or good works but by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. We cannot earn our salvation; it is a gift freely given by God. This means that no matter how many mistakes we make or how far we fall short, we are still loved and accepted by God. When we feel the weight of our sin, we can turn to Jesus and find rest for our souls. We can trust in his sacrifice on the cross and his resurrection, knowing that he has conquered sin and death once and for all. We can find peace in his forgiveness and the assurance of eternal life with him. So, if you're feeling overwhelmed by your mistakes and failures, remember that your salvation is not based on your own efforts but on the grace of God through faith in Jesus Christ. Turn to him, trust in him, and find rest for your soul.

Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth:

For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.

For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.
