Every Blessing – Thanksgiving Series: The Blessings of Salvation

When you think of the goodness of God in your life what comes to mind? Today we’ll begin a new series that will encourage us to count our blessings, both great and small.

 

Ephesians 2: 1-9 NIV

1 As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins,
2 in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient.
3 All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath.
4 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy,
5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions it is by grace you have been saved.
6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,
7 in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.
8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God
9 not by works, so that no one can boast.

    Titus 3: 3-7 NIV

    3 At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another.
    4 But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared,
    5 he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit,
    6 whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior,
    7 so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life.
  3. Salvation is Available to All
