For our proud confidence is this, the
testimony of our conscience, that in holiness and godly sincerity, not in
fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God, we have conducted ourselves in the
world, and especially towards you. 2 Corinthians 1:12 NASB
Amazing Grace. Where would we be without
God’s grace—His unmerited favor—His blessings that we don’t deserve and can’t
earn? The wisdom of the world—the smart thinkers—can’t provide the loving
assurance that God gives us. Keep on being holy—for God is Holy and expects no
less of us. You must be holy because I,
the LORD, am holy. I have set you apart from all other people to be my very
own. Leviticus 20:26. As His sons and daughters we ought to
live for Him. But by His doing you are in
Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and
sanctification, and redemption… 1 Corinthians 1:30 NASB
Prayer
~ May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace. All
praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with
every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are united with
Christ. Even before He made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to
be holy and without fault in His eyes. God decided in advance to adopt us into His
own family by bringing us to Himself through Jesus Christ. This is what He
wanted to do, and it gave Him great pleasure. So we praise God for the glorious
grace He has poured out on us who belong to His dear Son. He is so rich in
kindness and grace that He purchased our freedom with the blood of His Son and
forgave our sins. He has showered His kindness on us, along with all wisdom and
understanding. Ephesians 1:2-8
