The Daily Dose #0024

Your salvation is not the result of your own effort, intellect, or even your search for truth. It is solely because of God's grace that you have been saved. His grace reached out to you when you were lost, indifferent, or even opposed to Him. You didn’t find God—He found you. This reality humbles and reminds you that your salvation is entirely a work of God, not something you earned or discovered on your own.

When you understand that it was God's grace that pursued and saved you, it changes the way you live. You realize that every part of your faith, from beginning to end, is a gift from Him. You didn’t earn it, and you don’t sustain it by your own strength. Instead, you rest in the knowledge that His grace is what rescued you and will continue to hold you. Let this truth stir gratitude and deepen your love for the One who found you when you weren’t even looking.

"For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God."
— Ephesians 2:8
