Thoughts on Today's Verse...

What saves us? What God did for us in Jesus! Let's commit to let nothing make us relinquish our trust and dependency upon that hope, that Gospel by which we are saved (1 Corinthians 15:3-7). No name, person, or message can bring us true salvation other than the person, work, and Gospel of Jesus (John 14:6; Acts 4:12; Galatians 1:3-9). We don't need to add anything else to it. We must never let anyone take anything from it. Let's hold firmly to this faith as trust in God's grace in Jesus!

My Prayer...

Father, I trust in no other god for you alone are God.. I trust in no other Gospel but the story of your love and grace in Jesus. There is no other Savior and Lord other than Jesus. As the old hymn so beautifully prays, "Lord, let me never, never, outlive my love to Thee." In Jesus' name, I fervently pray this. Amen.
