SALVATION IS NOT PERFECTION

“God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God.” Ephesians 2:8

“Salvation is not a reward for good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it.” Ephesians 2:9

Salvation does not represent perfection in our life. Salvation is a gift from God, given to us because he loves us and wants us to be with him for eternity. However, we were born into sin. We must recognize that even though we are saved, we still have much work to do in our lives. We are still human, still tempted and still fail. It is our position to strive toward his excellence, with the understanding that this is a process. No matter how long we have known the Lord we still learn from him, and we still work to be like him. It is in our desire to be like Jesus that we change in our life and reflect his goodness and love for others. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
