DAY 2: Grace Can’t Be Lost. And Neither Can You

Every human being is on the same playing field when it comes to sin. By nature and nurture, we are all wretched, black-hearted sinners. It doesn’t matter where you grew up, in a nice neighborhood or in government housing. Whether you made straight A’s in school or dropped out. Whether you were really good at being good or really good at being bad. We ALL need the saving grace of the gospel.

Grace is not anti-effort, but it is anti-earning. This means that following Jesus is not easy, and the truth is, you actually are justified by good works...just not your own. Jesus is the only one capable of giving us a right standing before God. When we surrender to Him, God wraps us up in a blanket of that righteousness.

A major misconception that many people carry around with them is that when they surrender to Jesus, they still believe God is dissatisfied with them. This is a misinformation campaign from the devil to try to make us live in condemnation and not in freedom. If Jesus is the payment that satisfies, and you trust in Him, that means God cannot be dissatisfied with you. It is impossible! No matter what you have done or are going to do, God has and will never regret saving you. He will never regret calling you His child. With that truth planted firmly in you, you can now live a life of obedience out of a grateful response to the grace God has given you.
