Diary of a Sold Out Woman

Passage Ephesians 2:7-10: NIV
7in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. 8For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9not by works, so that no one can boast. 10For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

The above passage is so powerful to the gospel message. It is by GRACE we are saved. It is God's gift to us. We cant earn it and we could never deserve it but out of the RICHES of His Grace, He freely gives to us. Riches equal an abundance of. God is so rich in mercy that we didn't get the sentence we should have gotten and so rich in love that He sent His Only Begotten Son to die on calvary's cross. His blood was shed for each one of us whether we appropriate it or not. It was for us,  thank God for the blood.

Now, it goes on to say why God wants to show forth these mercies to us. God wants to bestow this blessing on us because He loves us. He loves His creation. We are the work of His hands. We are created in Christ Jesus and we are created to do GOOD works which God already ordained for us to do. God already had ordained that He would show all that great loving kindness to us and allow us to do the works that He put in us to do. So we are packed with purpose by the one who purposed us and He knows how to get out what He put in and He knows when. He created us to fellowship with Him and through fellowship we come to know Him and we come to really know ourselves, our purpose and are empowered to fulfill it.

FATHER GOD THANK YOU THAT YOU ALWAYS HAD US IN MIND. BEFORE WE WERE BORN WE WERE ON YOUR MIND. THE SONG SAYS WHEN JESUS WAS ON THE CROSS WE WERE ON HIS MIND. HELP US LORD, TO KEEP YOU ALWAYS ON OUR MINDS TO THE POINT THAT IT GUIDES OUR ACTIONS FOR OUR ACTIONS SPRING FORTH FROM OUR THOUGHTS. THANK YOU LORD. AMEN
