For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast.
Ephesians 2:8-9 BSB
Unexpected gifts trigger a plethora of social dilemmas. Do you refuse? Give the gift back? Take the gift and find something to give the giver? How much should I spend? See. Lots of approaches to gift giving, but there’s one gift you truly cannot repay.
God’s grace and salvation is a gift.
Today, I want to encourage you to embrace the gift! We can’t repay God for what He’s done for us. However, we can show our gratitude for the gift by living a life that is pleasing to Him. God designed salvation for His glory, not ours. So take a moment and thank Him for such a priceless gift.
Reflect – How will you demonstrate a posture of gratitude for Jesus’ sacrifice and your eternal life?
