Today's Devotion:
"Grace FUELS Faith"
"If there is anything of man's bringing,
which was not of God's bestowing,
though it were never so small,
it would overturn the nature of grace,
and make that of works which is of grace!"
(Samuel Bolton: "The True Bounds of
Christian Freedom, 1978, p. 94)
_______SCRIPTURE____________
Eph. 2:8-9
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith;
and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
KJV
_______THOUGHT______________
Consider grace as a stream of water which
flows from God to mankind.
In 4 B.C. the first water wheel came into
existence in Mesopotamia.
It was used to grind corn.
Much later, Lester Pelton patented a water
wheel which produced hydroelectric power.
It was patented in August of 1889.
You see, men USED naturally moving water
to PRODUCE something.
Let's apply.
GRACE is the stream which:
CALLS us to Jesus;
CONVICTS us of sin;
CONVINCES us that Jesus is the ONLY
Savior; and,
CALLS us to COMMIT ourselves to Him
as LORD.
THEN, grace CONTINUES to flow and help
us to GROW.
FAITH is that which God ALSO GIVES.
GRACE (a gift from God to ALL) FUELS the
FAITH which is GIVEN to believers.
Grace is the spiritual energy ALWAYS
flowing from God through Jesus!
FAITH is the GIFT of God to UTILIZE
the energy!
Is God's grace fueling faith in you to
produce the power to SHARE the good
news of Jesus?
Love ya!
