Grace

"But even though we were dead in our sins God, who is rich in mercy, because of the great love he had for us, gave us life together with Christ--it is, remember, by grace and not by achievement that you are saved--and has lifted us right out of the old life to take our place with Him in Christ Jesus in the Heavens. Thus He shows for all time the tremendous generosity of the grace and kindness He has expressed toward us in Christ Jesus. It was nothing you could or did achieve--it was God's gift of grace which saved you. No one can pride himself upon earning the love of God. The fact is that what we are we owe to the hand of God upon us." Phillips

The prayer of faith: "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me. I am blind, and I cannot see. I know you died for sinners, and I am a sinner. Save me. I'm helpless."

"My faith has found a resting place, not in device nor creed; I trust the Everlasting One, His wounds for me shall plead. I need no other argument, I need no other plea, it is enough that Jesus died, and that He died for me."
