A Mustard Seed FaithNäide

IT’S YOUR MUSTARD SEED FAITH

What a wonderful reminder that it’s your faith—your belief in the Lord—that secures you a place in heaven. Honestly, it should be a big sigh of relief to know you don’t have to live up to certain standards or complete a checklist of accomplishments. You’re not required to act a certain way, recite magical words, or perform sacred rituals as an entrance fee. Your eternity wasn’t guaranteed because of anything you did to earn it. Instead, revel in the sweet truth that it’s because of God’s grace you’ve been saved. It’s your mustard seed faith in action that makes an eternal life with God possible. Be careful you don’t brag about your works, telling others you earned your spot with the Almighty. Instead, humbly thank Him for loving you enough to make eternity a reward for simply believing.

Prayer: Father, I am so glad You don’t expect my actions to secure heaven for myself. I’d be in a world of hurt. While I know my eternity is settled, help me live a life worthy of You. Give me courage to be bold in my faith. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen.
