In a world where there are no absolutes and where people are looking for moral standards, God’s costly grace calls us to change our lives as a response to his grace. Whoever receives God’s grace but doesn’t try to do what’s right shows they are either ignorant or have a hard heart. In our day and age, to be saved means to try to do what is right. This is not so that we can earn our salvation, but so that God’s saving grace won’t go to waste in us.

Prayer
I admit that I’m living in a confusing time, Holy Father. Satan constantly blurs the lines between good and evil, moral and immoral, and right and wrong. May my life today demonstrate the righteousness you gave me through Jesus because you have been so kind to me. “My Rock and my Redeemer, may the words I speak and the thoughts I have be pleasing in your sight.” In Jesus’s precious name I pray. Amen.
