Scripture: Ephesians 2:8-9 (NIV)
"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast."
Reflection:
Greetings! Let's reflect on the beautiful truth of our Salvation. The Apostle Paul, in his letter to the Ephesians, reminds us that our Salvation is a divine gift, not a result of our efforts. This fundamental truth of our faith reassures us that our standing with God does not depend on our perfection or works but solely on His Grace.
Imagine a gift, beautifully wrapped, being offered to you. You didn't earn it or ask for it, yet it's yours simply because the giver loves you. That's how God's Grace works. He offers us Salvation, a profound and transformative gift, not because we are worthy but because of His immense love and mercy.
Application:
As you go about your day, carry this truth in your heart: You are Saved by Grace. Let this knowledge humble you and fill you with gratitude. When you interact with others, remember that the same Grace is available to them. Your life, redeemed and transformed by God's Grace, can be a testament to His love and mercy.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, I am in awe of Your gift of Salvation. Thank You for saving me, not because of anything I've done, but because of Your Grace and love. Help me to live today in gratitude for this gift and to extend Your love to others.
In Jesus' name, Amen.

May this devotion bring inspiration and a deeper understanding of the Grace we've received through Salvation.
