Daily Devotion from Pastor Eric & Rita - A Gift From God

A Gift From God
Today's Devotional Reading:
Leviticus 15-17; Acts 18
February 11, 2011

By reading the scripture above each day you will read the Old Testament through in one year and the New Testament through twice in a year. This will change your life. Start Today!
TODAY'S SCRIPTURE
 
 

"For I am with you...." (Acts 18:10 NLT).


TODAY'S WORD
 
 
, The Lord spoke the scripture above to Paul letting him know that God was with him. We serve such a loving, gracious, and generous God. He loves you so much that there isn´t anything He wouldn´t do in order to have a relationship with you. The Bible tells us that sin separates man from God. But God doesn´t want to be separated from you. That´s why He sent His Son into the world-to pay the penalty for sin so that you and I could live in eternity with Him.

So many people today think they have to earn their way to heaven. They think they have to be "good enough" or "do the right thing" in order to be accepted by God. They want to "clean up" before they come to Him. But Paul says "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God" (Ephesians 2:8, NKJ). Salvation is a gift from God. You can´t earn a gift. You don´t pay for it. You can only receive it by faith. If you´ve never made Jesus the Lord of your life, I encourage you to receive this free gift. Let Him fill you with His eternal peace and joy so that you can live the abundant life He has for you.

 

A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY
 

Father in heaven, I come to You today giving You all that I am. Thank You for the gift of salvation through Your Son, Jesus. I believe He died and rose for me and invite Him to be the Lord of every area of my life. In Jesus´ Name. Amen.

We sure love you!
Eric & Rita
