Ephesians 2:8-9
8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.

Pastors, the floor is yours. Be exceptional and humble.

I came across this verse looking for today’s scripture. I feel that the message behind this verse is a great lesson.

In my opinion, the greatest gift for any of us is salvation. As we all know, the salvation we have been given came at a hefty price for Jesus, but to us it is simply a gift for us to receive.

With that being the case I’d like to really focus on the last part, “not by works, so that no one can boast.” That is an incredible reason to give grace and to be humble and kind. The greatest gift we’ve been given that gives us eternal life in paradise cannot be earned.

That essentially took any other reason away to act in a boastful way. Let’s focus on giving grace, let’s focus on being humble and building others up. Let’s give thanks and credit to God.

Make it a great week in the trenches. Be exceptional at being you.

Love,

Yancey
