Galatians 3:5 - Well then, does God supply you with the Spirit and work miracles among you by your doing the works of the law, or by your believing what you heard?
Imagine that you are at a healing service where an alcoholic and a very pious person are present. Both need physical healing and you witness the alcoholic getting healed but not the pious person. Most people would get upset and confused with such a story, because they believe that God heals the deserving.
But that is not how God works. God looks at faith, not works. So if we go back to the above example, God wants to heal both the alcoholic and the pious person. All they need to do is to receive by grace, (or unmerited favour), through faith.
We cannot earn the blessings of God. We receive them by believing God’s love and grace toward us. When you believe that you receive your blessings based on the atoning work of Jesus and by His merits and grace alone, you will receive your blessings!
Thought for the day!
God’s power is made manifest in those who trust His goodness instead of their own goodness.
