A Sinner Saved by Grace

Ephesians 2:5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)


Yes! Even when we were dead in sins, separated from God the Father, Christ Jesus our Lord came to save sinful man. Lost and undone, without hope, on my way to hell! Then Jesus reached out His hand to a sinner such as I, and upon receiving Him, He pull me out of the miry clay. I have no reason to boast, there is nothing I did to deserve His helping hand. I can't glory in the fact I took His hand, it would be unreasonable not too! Salvation is truly ALL of God!! He absolutely does the saving, but that does not negate our part to believe. When we do believe in Christ and receive Him then we are quicken as a result of faith! That faith creates in us eternal life. For He who is eternal life; Christ, now lives in us. 1 John 5:11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. If you could see what I once was If you could go with me back to where I started from then I know you would see. As Paul said, I am the chiefest of sinners, to that I myself agree. However, one day a miracle of love took me in it's sweet embrace and it made me what I am today, just an old sinner saved by grace. I'm just a sinner saved by grace! Hallelujah!! What a Saviour!!! I did nothing to deserve it! It was not me "repenting of all my sins" that saved me. It was repenting of unbelief and then placing faith in Christ. No act that I may do, no good work that I may do, could ever or will forever have anything to do with my salvation. It's by GRACE!!! Romans 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Be careful there are many deceitful voices out there today that tell you that you must do this or do that, but that's not what the Bible says. We are freely given salvation. What a great salvation it is! While I am still a sinner in the flesh in my spirit and soul I am justified, that means I am declared NOT guilty. God does not see my sin, He sees the righteousness of His Son. The fact that I am a sinner saved by grace gives me great delight. It makes me joyful in that I know how God sees me and it also keeps me humble and grateful because I know what I am. Naught have I gotten but what I received; Grace hath bestowed it since I have believed. Boasting is excluded, pride I abase, I'm only a sinner saved by grace! Yes, my friend only a sinner saved by grace! This is my story to God be the glory! I'm only a sinner saved by grace! This is the old time religion that remains good enough for me, thank God for Grace! Whatever your doing today, please take the time to stop and thank Him for His Amazing Grace! Acts 15:11 But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.
