This Is All of It

Our grace reminder for today comes from a classic, "Grace: God's Unmerited Favor" by Charles Spurgeon. May you be blessed by the truth as you read this. May you receive this revelation today of just how much our Savior and Lord loves and keeps us.

God has raised his hand and sworn that Christ will have the reward of His passion; that His purchased ones will be brought under His sovereign power; that having borne sin and put it away, it will never be a second time charged against His redeemed. His oath is unbreakable.

This is all of it. Do you believe in Christ? Then, God will work in you "to will and to do of his good pleasure" (Philippians 2:13) God will conquer your sin; God will sanctify you; God will save you; God will keep you; God will bring you to Himself. Rest in the covenant. Then, moved by intense gratitude, go forward to serve your Lord with all your heart and soul and strength. Being saved, live to praise Him. Do not work so that you may be saved, but serve Him because you are saved, for the covenant has secured your safety.
