AUGUST 23 

Jesus Paid It All 

“Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, by grace ye are saved.” Ephesians 2:5

Suppose your best friend offered to buy you a new car. You tell him that you can’t accept it outright and offer to help pay for the car. Then, you say, “Here’s a quarter. Thank you!”

Now, you’re driving around and somebody compliments you on your new car and you say, “Thanks! My friend and I bought this car.” Wouldn’t that be ridiculous?

Well, that’s what we want to do with God when we add our two bits worth of self-effort to His grace. If you do that, you take the glory from Almighty God.

When you get to heaven, all you’re going to be able to say is, “Jesus paid it all.”

Spend some time reading Ephesians 2 today and praise God for His divine plan of salvation.
