For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. Eph 2:8-9 NIV
Years ago, when I worked at a youth correctional facility, I would hear very negative comments from people in the community about the youth. I usually could do nothing more than shake my head. You see, I knew them all and I also knew that one main difference between them and the youth was that they had never been caught or charged for their criminal behavior as the youth had.
We are all sinners in need of God's gift of salvation. Not one of us is saved because we are so good. We are saved by God's grace, through faith. It is a gift from God. Thanks be to God, for His mercy is great!
God's Peace - Pr. J
