We are not saved by good works, but by God’s work.
Read: Ephesians 2:1-10
The name of a pretty Bavarian town in Germany shares the name of a place of horror - Dachau. A museum on the grounds of this infamous Nazi concentration camp attracts many World War II History Buffs.
As you look around, it would be hard to miss the misleading words welded to an iron gate: Arbeit Macht Frei. This phrase - “work makes you free” - was just a cruel lie to give false hope to those who entered this place of death.
Many people today have false hope that they can earn a place in heaven by working at being good or by doing good things. God’s standard of perfection, however, requires a totally sinless life. There’s no way any of us can ever be “good enough”. It is only through the sacrifice of the sinless Saviour that we are made righteous. God’s gift of grace - not because of our good works. (Eph.2:8-9)
Don’t let Satan trick you by giving you false hope that your good works will save you. It is only through Jesus’ work on the cross that you can have real freedom. - Cindy Hess Kasper.
Accept the teaching of the world
And hopeless you will be,
But trust in God’s eternal plan
If you want life that’s free. - Branon
PRAYER:-
³ Given that Easter starts tomorrow Pray that we would see many thousands come to our services to seek the true meaning of Easter. Pray that God would send His Spirit in abundance to bring many to himself in faith and repentance.
