8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
Ephesians 2:8-10(ESV)
Thanks to all who helped others and the church family during this snow storm. It looks like the worst is over - praise God. We thank the Lord for His mercy.
You all continue to be in our prayers, and I hope everyone is well.
We will continue this Sunday with the same verses we would have had last week. So, I'm sending out the same message -
When we look at Ephesians 2:8-10, we know, at a profound level, that we are saved by grace through faith. This is so important to remember as we go through daily life. Our salvation, just as our day to day life, is in God's hands. What a blessing that we are safe and secure by God's grace.
This reality should engender confidence. God has prepared us for life and He has prepared us for the good things we are to do; He has prepared us for everything in Christ. God has even prepared us to walk in good works which He has prepared beforehand (v.10, ESV).
When we realize the extent to which God cares for us and watches over us, we should feel very wonderful knowing that God loves us and that He has it all under control.
Winter storms may come, but we stand on Jesus.
Please let me know if you need anything. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers.
Blessings,
Pastor Tim
