Learning to Know God

Read Titus 3:1-11

"He saved us, not because of righteous things which we had done, but because of his mercy" (Titus 3:5).

What Does This Scripture Mean for Us?

Wow. What a day. In fact, the last two days have seemed like the toughest 10 days of my year thus far. You get the idea, right? During the last two days, between work I've had to do and ice storms all over our area of the world, I think I've probably worked as hard as I've ever done. Well, almost ever.

Indeed, I think I've worked hard enough the last couple of days that God is "looking down" at me and saying, "Yeah, Gary, you did a good job. You've finally worked hard enough to, at last, deserve my love for you. Welcome into the family."

Have you worked hard enough today to deserve God's love?

Trick question, of course. It is God's incomprehensible love that sustains us and makes us acceptable through our faith in Christ. Grace starts and ends in that love. None of us, no matter how hard we work, can earn God's love or grace.

So, you don't have to work hard to deserve God's love and earn his good grace. Instead, you accept it each day, and work as hard as you are able to show your gratitude and give him praise and thanks.
