Day 22 "Saved And Sanctified"
Reach Out and be Rescued
Happy Lord’s Day Beauties!
“But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—” Ephesians 2:4-8 (NIV)
Nothing I can say is better than starting the day with God’s truth about our salvation. This magnificent gift allows us to stop striving and stressing to earn our salvation. Jesus’ powerful and beautiful redeeming work on the cross has saved us from eternal damnation (what we deserve for our sin). We simply need to believe this good news is true and ask Jesus to be Lord of our life.
Are you saved? Is this life transformation your personal story? Are you living in the newness of life? Is Jesus your Savior or Lord? Selah.
If you want to know more about salvation, please reach out to me on my website “Let’s Connect” section, and it would be my pleasure to listen, share, and pray with you.
“ Since you have heard about Jesus and have learned the truth that comes from him, throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by lust and deception. Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. Put on your new nature, created to be like God—truly righteous and holy.” Ephesians 4:21-24 (NLT)
Once we receive salvation, the Holy Spirit comes to live inside us and to help us become Holy as God is Holy. Again, this is not something we have to accomplish in our own strength. We surrender to the Holy Spirit and allow him to sanctify us from glory to glory. We will never “arrive” and be perfect as we live here on this Earth, but our desire should be to continue growing on our spiritual journey.
For all the Beauties who are relying on your own strength to “be good” and “do good” - I pray today you reach out your hand to Jesus, and let him rescue you in your brokenness. There’s no same, just salvation and sanctification…and rest. Thank you Jesus!
Love and Blessings,
Kendra
