FAITH IS A GIFT

 
Ephesians 2:8


"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God."NIV


"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God." KJV


Grace is God's favor toward us even though we do not deserve it and have not earned it. Faith is the power of believing that God gives us. God will never believe for us, but He will always give us the power to believe by the gift of faith. Do we earn this gift by our good works or moral lives? No! None of us are worthy of that gift. It is freely given by God because He is a gracious God. It is up to us whether we accept this faith, this power to believe in Jesus Christ. Salvation comes by no other way.


Heavenly Father, how we thank You for Your grace to us and the measure of faith You have given to each of us. Help us to use our faith so that we will believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and be saved. In His name we pray, Amen.
