Once again, God proves the grace that He has for us. He proved this gift of grace through Abraham, who was accepted by God as he was. No action that he had performed caused him to be acceptable to God-in God's eyes, he was already perfect.
God made a promise to Abraham...and to us! He sent His son, Jesus, to earth to die, so that one day we may stand before His throne and be accepted into the gates of Heaven. As I said yesterday, nothing that we do can get us in-that's God's decision. God has decided that we are all worthy, all we have to do is have faith in Him and Him alone.

What a blessing to know that we have been chosen as worthy of His blessings. This reminds me of Paul's words to the Ephesians: "For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God." I thank God for that most wondrous of all gifts!
