“Because of God’s grace to me, ...” 1 Corinthians 3v10-11 (NLT)

“According to the grace ...” 1 Corinthians 3v10-11 (AMP)

Thank God for His grace, His amazing grace. Because of His grace, we are saved. Not because of our background, or wealth, or family, but because of His grace. Ephesians 2v8-9 (AMP) says “For it is by free grace (God’s unmerited favor) that you are saved (delivered from judgment and made partakers of Christ’s salvation) through [your] faith. And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [of your own doing, it came not through your own striving], but it is the gift of God; Not because of works [not the fulfillment of the Law’s demands], lest any man should boast. [It is not the result of what anyone can possibly do, so no one can pride himself in it or take glory to himself.]” God be praised for His saving grace, that He loved us so much that He sent Jesus to die for us (John 3v16), and Jesus also laid down His life for us (John 10v17-18 ). And the amazing thing is that it was even while we were yet sinners that Christ died for us. Romans 5v6-8 (NIV) telling us that “You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

Supplementary Text

“Remember, dear brothers and sisters, that few of you were wise in the world’s eyes or powerful or wealthy when God called you. Instead, God chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise. And He chose things that are powerless to shame those who are powerful. God chose things despised by the world, things counted as nothing at all, and used them to bring to nothing what the world considers important. As a result, no one can ever boast in the presence of God.” 1 Corinthians 1v26-29 (NLT)

Prayer

Our heavenly Father, we thank You so much for Your amazing saving grace in Jesus name, amen.
