God\u2019s Grace \u00a0 Day 8
\nI don\u2019t ignore the grace of God, because if we become righteous through the Law, then Christ died for no purpose.\u00a0 <\/em>Galatians 2:21<\/p>\n

Message:<\/u>
\nThe grace of God is most important! We should be seeing that now daily, as we read these different scriptures about grace, for without the grace of God we would be lost sinners, unable to become righteous through the Law or our good works, for if salvation could be obtained by the Law or by works, then Christ died in vain.<\/p>\n

There is salvation in no one else! God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be\u00a0saved.\u201d\u00a0 <\/em>Acts 4:12 NLT<\/p>\n

And how is salvation received?
\nIt is only by God\u2019s grace that you have been saved!<\/em> Ephesians .2:5 NLT<\/p>\n

God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can\u2019t take credit for this; it is a gift from God.<\/em>
\nSalvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it.<\/em>\u00a0 Ephesians 2:8-9 NLT<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s give thanks daily for God\u2019s Grace!<\/p>\n
