Today’s Scripture…
Galatians 2:21
21 I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!”
Thoughts…
Being religious is so different from being a follower of Christ. To follow a religion means adhering to a bunch of do’s and don’ts that will land you in favor with or cast out of eternity. Religious rules become the focus of the commitment. Perfection becomes the name of the game.
To be a follower Christ means your focus is on Him and what He did for you. You recognize your striving to be more like Him, but acknowledge your need for Him.
If I could get into heaven by following a bunch of set rules, why would I need Jesus? What was the point of Him suffering and His ultimate death on the cross in place of me? To rely on religion is to deny Christ.
I don’t know about you but I am so thankful for His Amazing Grace!
Prayer…
Lord thank you for taking my place on that cross and giving me Amazing Grace! ~amen
