(S)cripture-
Galatians 2:21 I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing.
(O)bservation-
The fact that Jesus died on the cross means everything for those who believe. It is not by any works that we do or rules or laws that we follow that saves us, but only by God's amazing grace. God's grace and love for us was demonstrated when Christ poured out His life for us at the cross - He took the sins of man with Him to the grave. He was then raised form the dead so that we too would not be subjected to the death that sin brings, but to have eternal life. This is all because of God's grace and not anything we do, have done, or could ever do.
(A)pplication-
I am so thankful for my new life in Christ, made possible only by God's grace. I am not perfect and continue to do things that displease God, but I try my best to follow and obey Him... and I know that even when I fall God is there to lift me up and I am covered by His grace.
(P)rayer-
Father, thank You for the power of the cross - for the redemptive power of Jesus' blood that was poured out for us because of Your great mercy and love and grace for Your children. Thank You for my new beginning and that I don't have to live under the bondage of sin and longer. Thank You for my eternal life and freedom through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. I love and praise You. Amen.
