21 Days of Praise: Day 2 - The Gift of Salvation

Welcome to Day 2 of our #21DaysofPraise series! Today, we are focusing on the incredible gift of salvation that we have through Jesus Christ. 

Praise for Salvation

Verse of the Day: 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 you have been saved by faith. Nothing you did could ever earn this salvation, for it was the love gift from God that brought us to Christ!” (TPT)

Reflecting on the gift of salvation fills our hearts with gratitude. It's not something we could ever earn; it's a gift freely given by a loving God.

I remember the moment I truly understood the depth of God's grace. It was during a church service when the speaker spoke about how Jesus made her life anew. It was a vibrant speaker who came to the Teens' church at the time. She spoke passionately about how the sacrifice on the cross was for each of us individually. I was smitten – both by her delivery and her conviction. I felt a weight lift off my shoulders as I wholeheartedly accepted this truth and embraced the freedom and joy that come with salvation.

I couldn’t earn it. I didn’t deserve it. It was a gift I simply received. How amazing! 

Today, I encourage you to listen to "Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)" by Chris Tomlin. This song beautifully expresses the wonder of God's grace and the freedom we have in Christ.

Prayer:

Lord, we thank You for the gift of salvation. We are grateful that You sent Your Son, Jesus, to die for our sins and to offer us eternal life. Help us to live in the light of this amazing grace every day and to share this gift with others. Amen.

Your Turn:
