Verses: Romans 11 : 1 - 10
My thoughts about the verses:
There is nothing that we can do to earn the gift of grace. If we could do things to earn grace then it is not a free gift. Therefor everyone would try their best to do things to earn grace. Instead of accepting that grace is given to us freely by God.
Jesus died so that we could receive grace. God is strong enough to take away our sins. There is nothing that we can ever do to remove the sins that we have committed. In fact, thinking that we can do it without God is in itself a sin. Just think of the first commandment do not put anything before God. So if you put yourself in the same level as God are you not committing this sin?
God's chosen people are blessed. We are given a choice to accept God into our hearts. Yet, the omnipotent Creator knows who will accept. If you truly believe in God's gift of salvation your sins are covered by the healing blood of Jesus.
In today's world there are so many different groups that believe that they are the chosen people. That God has picked their group over another to receive the gift of grace. Yet, if you look at the scripture God said that there would be those in the chosen group that would be blind and not see the grace right before them. If you think you can choose who can go to Heaven are your eyes truly open? God doesn't want anyone to perish. Yet, people forget this as they go out to tell others about God.
Just like the Israelites there are individuals in each denomination that have their eyes open and receive the grace. While there are others that have their eyes closed and do not receive grace. They refuse to accept the blessing that is freely given. Those that have their eyes open will truly accept and spread the good news.
Prayer:
Dear God thank you for the gift of Grace. Thank you for coming into our lives so that we can have our eyes opened. Help us share the good news with others. Help us keep focused on serving you and not judging others. Thank you for overlooking our shortcomings. In your name we pray. Amen
Questions:
Have you accepted Jesus in your life? Have you chosen to follow God? Have you accepted the gift of grace? Are you sharing the good news with others? Do you judge others? What do you need to do to get to Heaven?
