Grace for your spirit
But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him. Romans 5:8-9
When someone asks us how to become a Christian and live faithfully in the family of God, where do we start? We often begin by telling people what they need to do to be saved. Let me suggest that before we tell people what they need to do, we need to tell them what God has done for them. His love and His blood are the drawing agents, not our acts of obedience. Many times people want us to just skip to baptism. We need to skip back to the cross where our salvation was achieved. Our plan of salvation is a response to Christ's sacrifice. We are saved by His life, not ours.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
