Daily Prayer for February 8th, 2019
Dear God,
Thank You for another beautiful day! 🙂
I am aware that under no condition would I be successful if I tried to follow all biblical principles, even if I never broke one of the ten commandments. I would fail, period. The laws of Moses increase sin. And, trying to keep those decrees only hold man in bondage because self-righteousness negates the reason for Jesus. “For it is by grace we are saved through faith,” not our good works. It is You who gets the glory, not mankind. Let me rest in You as You guide me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
John 3:16 English Standard Version (ESV)
For God So Loved the World
16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
1 Peter 3:18 English Standard Version (ESV)
18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit,
Ephesians 2:8-9 New International Version (NIV)
8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works so that no one can boast.
Hebrews 4:1-2 English Standard Version (ESV)
4 Therefore, while the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us fear lest any of you should seem to have failed to reach it. 2 For good news came to us just as to them, but the message they heard did not benefit them, because they were not united by faith with those who listened.
