Not Of Our Own Doing
"For it is by free grace (God’s unmerited favor) that you are saved (delivered from judgment and made partakers of Christ’s salvation) through [your] faith. And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [of your own doing, it came not through your own striving], but it is the gift of God" (Ephesians 2:8, AMP).
I know that I say this time after time. I use this Scripture time and again. But I don't think I can say this enough.
We are not saved of our own doing. It did not come through our own striving. Not only are we not saved of our own doing, but we aren't healed, prospered or blessed through our own efforts either.
Instead we have free grace. We have God's unmerited favor. We cannot do enough to earn our healing, our prosperity or our blessing. We only receive them because Jesus died for us.

Have you received Jesus as your Lord and Saviour? Do you believe Jesus died to pay the price for your sin? That He was raised from the dead? Then just pray aloud, "Lord Jesus, I repent of all my sins. Come into my heart and be my Lord and Saviour." If you believed in your heart and confessed with your mouth, you are Born-again. Let us know if you prayed this prayer.
