More Grace

Ephesians 2:8 (New King James Version)
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,

How this one simplicity from the Word of God can squelch so many disagreements. It is so simple. Religions make it so difficult, and add so much to it.

By Grace, you have been saved
Through faith . . .
A Gift of God.

That's it.

I have done nothing.

I was in position to "hear" the Word of God, which in turn planted a "seed" of Faith, because ~ Faith comes by "hearing" and "hearing" the Word of God. And Faith grew to the degree to Believe, and understand, and I'm back to square one Nothing I did, all by the Grace of God. A gift from God to me, to all humanity. But, humans want to make it hard.

The most recent scripts that are rising up right now are the above and also:

Philippians 3:10
My determined purpose to know him, and the power of His resurrection.


2 Peter 1:3
as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue,


Titus 2:11-12
“For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age,”-
Today's passage is from the New International Version.

Lord, that I may know You and Your Grace and Power as I live out my life here, and that You are Pleased and Glorified!
