"When people work, their pay is not regarded as a gift but something they have earned" (Romans 4:4).
When
God is at work in us, bringing us to faith in His Son, our Saviour,
Jesus Christ, everything is very different. His salvation is His gift to
us. It's not our reward from Him.
Grace
gives to us. We receive from grace. Grace brings us to faith. By faith,
we look away from ourselves to the God of grace. We say, "Praise Him, praise Him, alleluia! Praise with us the God of grace."
"Jesus,
our Lord, was handed over to death because of our failures and was
brought back to life so that we could receive God’s approval" (Romans 4:25).
Think
often of what Jesus had done for you. He died for you. He rose again
for you. Thank him for dying for you. Thank Him for rising again for
you.
