Grace
|
For God saved us and called us to live a holy life. He did this, not because we deserved it, but because that was his plan from before the beginning of time—to show us his grace through Christ Jesus.
2 Timothy 1:9 (New Living Translation)
Who has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time.
2 Timothy 1:9 (New International Version)
We can only keep on going, after all, by the power of God, who first saved us and then called us to this holy work. We had nothing to do with it. It was all his idea, a gift prepared for us in Jesus long before we knew anything about it. But we know it now.
2 Timothy 1:9 (The Message)
I agree with you, it is a gift and I sure don’t take credit for it… I just thank my Savior for dying for my sins and for saving me… I saw myself hanging Jesus on that cross and repented of my sins and believed in my heart and confessed with my mouth that he died for me and that is how I am saved by grace…. not of myself but that he is glorfied.
and he lives within me…… God bless.
