Verse of the Day

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God. Ephesians 2:8

Grace, in a spiritual sense, literally means a state of sanctification through God. If we have faith, then God's grace will save us from our sins, and from the "reward" that we deserve. None of use could ever earn salvation, no matter how many good works we do. It is a gift. A priceless treasure that is obtained through faith in the Lord. In His grace and mercy He sent His only son to die for our sins so that we (all of us) could have salvation.

We just have to have faith, accept it, and truly try to live a Christ-like life.

I guess what I was asking was how do you blog surf on blogger? I've looked around, and can't find a link or anything.
