“By the grace of God I am what I am. Our conversion was no accident but an act of God which has it’s place in an eternal plan.” God chooses and calls us. Looking back years before I answered yes to His call, at a young age, He taught me this powerful, humbling truth, that all comes from Him, yes, His grace blesses and determines our paths. I will therefore respond by telling of His wonders and sing of His praise this new song He placed in my heart! “For love awakens love in return… those who have received grace should henceforth give themselves to ‘good works’.”
“The relevance of our doings is not that they ever merit an award… but that they provide an index of what is in the heart… (Even) the words we utter are ‘works’ that show what you are inside.” Praise God for choosing us, giving us eternal salvation and pardon before and because of a righteous Savior! It brings me great peace and comfort knowing He will right all wrongs and hold those who refuse to repent and walk in His ways accountable.
