Ephesians 2:10 NLT
For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2:10
You are exceptionally blessed, regarded with preference, and accepted by God as part of His plan.
The grace of God is the source of salvation; faith is the channel, not the cause. God alone saves. Salvation never originates in the efforts of people; it always arises out of the loving-kindness of God.
At great expense to Himself, God worked for us on the cross. And today, based on that price paid at Calvary, He works in us to make us more like Christ. God can’t work in us unless He has first worked for us, and we have trusted His Son. Also, He can’t work through us unless He works in us. This is why we need to spend daily time in the Word and prayer. It is crucial to yield to Christ during times of suffering. God works in us through His work. He does this through prayer and suffering. He performs the “good works” He planned for us.
You are loved first and foremost, cared for, protected, and blessed. Trust that God has you in His perfect plan.
Blessings,
