Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. — Luke 3:8

Grace is given to us as a free gift. It cannot be earned or merited. However, salvation that doesn’t move us out of our reckless and defiant ways is fake. It is an acknowledgment that we have been going the incorrect way on a single direction road. An affirmation attempting to direct our own lives is continuously going to end in frustration, catastrophe, and demise without Jesus being Lord of both our lips and our lives. We realize that God’s effortlessness is heavenly, but at the same time how about we discover that his will is thoughtful. As we do, we will change our way of behaving to mirror the personality of the Father who sent his Son to be the making up penance for our transgressions!

Prayer

God, you are a kind and gracious God who wants to free me from the consequences of my past mistakes by calling me to obedience. Please assist me as I surrender my life to your will. Please instill your Spirit in me so that I can avoid temptation and reflect your righteousness. Rejuvenate in me the natural product that mirrors your salvation and your personality in me. In Jesus’ name I supplicate. So be it.
