The Saving Power of Grace

Ephesians 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.  

Your security is not based on your faith, but on God’s faithfulness to His promises. God gave you a measure of faith in the beginning, as seen in Romans 12:3, but He is expecting you to start using this faith in accordance to His will and plan for your life. He wants to bless you and make you a blessing to others. If you are not affecting the life of someone else, you are not fulfilling one of the reasons why God is blessing you.  Problems will come your way, but they can be stumbling blocks or stepping stones. 

Your attitude will determine if it is a problem or a challenge. Use your faith and claim Scriptures that will overcome the need.
