David Jeremiah Daily Devotional for Today 12th August 2024
Martin Luther is viewed as the father of the Protestant Reformation in the early sixteenth century in Europe. As a monk, he lived a life of despair, fearing his penance, fasting, pilgrimages, and discipline would never gain him the favor with God for which he longed. And he was right. It was not until he discovered Romans 1:17—“The just shall live by faith [not by works]”—that he found peace with God.
The doctrine of salvation by grace through faith in Christ can be a stumbling block for works-oriented people. Everything we gain in life is by hard work and self-discipline—or so the modern mantra tells us. But the Bible has a different message: Only by trusting in the finished work of Christ can we be justified in God’s sight. Good works are important, to be sure. But we are saved for good works, not by good works (Ephesians 2:10).
Don’t try to gain God’s favor by working for Him. Instead, receive His favor (grace) by believing in Him through His Son.
Read-Thru-the-Bible: Jeremiah 28 – 30
