40 Days of Prayer 2-23-26 | Savior – Saved Through His Grace for His Glory
When you think of being “saved,” do you picture a moment in your past—a prayer, a decision, an experience, that secured your eternal future? It’s good and right to treasure that moment—it changed everything. Isn’t it also amazing that when Paul writes, “by grace you have been saved,” he’s not only affirming that moment but pointing to so much more? Saving grace isn’t just a past event that shapes our eternal future—it’s a present-tense reality. Saving grace is at work right now—still active, still shaping us, still transforming us.
That is really good news. We live in a world starving for salvation, a world that constantly tells us we have to earn our worth and protect our own vulnerability. We breathe an atmosphere of pressure—to [possess], perform, [provide], prove, and [self-]protect. In that suffocating air, saving grace is like oxygen. It relieves the ache to make a name for ourselves and the fear that we’re on our own to survive. Grace says: you’re already loved, already secure—not because you earned it, but because Christ gave it.
And this grace isn’t just divine kindness. It cost everything. “Not from yourselves” means we could never live a life good enough. So, Jesus lived it for us, bore the cost we couldn’t carry, and rose to secure what we never could. He remains our Savior now—still healing, shielding, and sustaining.
And when grace tells your story, people don’t just see you—they glimpse the One who made it possible.
