So many people make the mistake of thinking that they have to change for the better before they can come to God for salvation. That’s wrong thinking and it’s an impossible thing to accomplish. God wants us to come to Him, through His Son, Jesus, as we are…completely unworthy sinners in complete need of His amazing grace. He, and ONLY He, can, and will, make the change in the person who comes to His Son, Jesus, by faith alone.

 

John 14:6

Jesus said…, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.”

 

Ephesians 2:8-10

8 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; 9 not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. 10 For we are HIS workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.

 

1 Corinthians 15:9-10

9 For I am the least of the apostles, and not fit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me did not prove vain. ~ Paul

 

“God sees us as we are, loves us as we are, and accepts us as we are. But by His grace, He does not leave us as we are.” ~ Timothy Keller

 

The Lord bless you and keep you…
