Wednesday at the Well: Ephesians 2:8-9 - Let God


Bible Verses to Explore: Ephesians 2:8-9


Do you like to make things with your hands? Do you enjoy woodworking? Painting? Drawing? Do you like to sew or write songs? Maybe you are enjoy fixing broken things or

trying to invent something new. Maybe you like some other kind of “do it yourself” project.

That’s great! Enjoy!

There is one project that you can’t do yourself. No matter how talented you are. No matter how creative you are. No matter how “good” you are.

What is this “you can’t do it yourself” project?

Salvation.

It doesn’t matter how many good, kind things you do. It doesn’t matter how often you go to church. It doesn’t matter how often you pray or read the Bible. It doesn’t matter

how many “Christian” things you say, you can’t save yourself! Romans 3:23 explains it this way: “All have sinned and are not good enough to share God’s divine greatness.”

Only God can save you from your sin and give you forgiveness for those sins. That’s what verse 8 of our Bible reading says: “I mean that you have been saved by grace because you believed. You did not save yourselves; it was a gift from God,” and Romans 3:24 says, “They are made right with God by his grace. This is a free gift. They are made right with God by being made free from sin through Jesus Christ.”

Please, accept the gift of salvation that God wants to give you. Salvation is one thing you can’t do yourself. Stop trying and let God save you as only He can.

Romans 3:24

If you have never accepted Jesus as Your Lord and Savior and allowed Him to save you from Your sin, please pray this prayer or one like it:

Heavenly Father, I know that I can’t save myself using my own strength or abilities. Forgive my sin. I accept Your gift of salvation through faith in Jesus right now. Give me Your Holy Spirit to help me live to please You. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
