God bless!

          What are we saved by? Is it by our actions? By the money we give in church? By the good deeds we do? By the apparent sacrifices we make? No, not by any of these. Don't get me wrong these are all good things to do but they don't provide salvation to any of us. They are simply reflections of our understanding of Gods Grace. Our salvation only comes from Him. If it weren't for Jesus none of us would be saved. Why is this important today? The reason is we have to always keep in mind that we don't gain salvation through any action or deed that we do, we couldn't save ourselves if we tried (sorry just being honest). The only avenue to salvation is Jesus Christ. Today I encourage you as I do myself to do good but do it because He's been good to us not because we think we are working our own way into heaven. Just keeping it real.

Pastor Joell A. Perez

But we believe that we are saved through the grace (the undeserved favor and mercy) of the Lord Jesus, just as they [are]. (Acts 15:11 AMP)
