Grace Alone

I think I'm too "preachy" lol.  Here's a blog post that's less "preachy."

So we've been going over the book of Galatians in our weeknight college group meeting.  It's just really been an encouragement to see my salvation as a gift of faith, and not an obligation by works.  I've hardly ever thought about my salvation as an adoption (I mean, I "knew" it was, but it wasn't something I'd meditate on). Just like the child who was adopted by foster parents not out of anything that child has done, but the overwhelming desire for the parents to love that child.  Now that is grace.

Oh the sinner that I am, thinking that my salvation is much more than that!  I'm glad my works doesn't grant me salvation, because I would never attain it.

Now here's a mathematical equation that puts it all in perspective:

Jesus + something = nothing

But...

Jesus + nothing = everything.
