All Of Grace
By Robert A.Searles
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves;
it is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast. For we
are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which
God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2: 8,
9, 10.
God saved us because he wanted to, not because had
to. He saved us because he loves us; because he created us for himself
unto good works. He saved us because he is not willing that any
should perish. Our salvation is by grace alone, through faith. He
imparted unto us the faith to believe the gospel and to call upon Christ
to save us.
At one time we were without God in the world,
having no hope; but while we were lost, while we were yet sinners,
Christ came to save us, as many as will believe and receive him as lord
and Savior.
“But now in Christ Jesus, ye who sometimes
were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. For he is our peace,
who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of
partition between us; having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the
law of commandments contained in ordinances: for to make in himself of
twain one new man, so making peace: and that he might reconcile both
unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby, and
came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that
were nigh. For through him we both have access by one spirit unto the
Father. Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but
fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God and are
built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets unto a holy
temple in the Lord; in whom ye also are builded together for a
habitation of God through the spirit.” Ephesians 2: 13-22.
Both Jew and Gentile are invited by God the Father to partake of his
grace, and receive Christ as Savior, and become part of his body, the
church, and enjoy his benevolence forever.
