Paul’s Prayer for You! Part 4
Growing in Faith
When you exercise the faith God provides for you, you enter His Kingdom through His salvation. His salvation carries with it a plan for you. God, through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, has a plan for you! And by extension, you have a purpose in His Kingdom, such that He has prepared good works in advance for you to do.
We have works to do and we’re going to need faith to do them!
Paul’s Prayer for You! Part 3
SAVED BY FAITH FOR A PURPOSE
Paul continues his prayer by expressing God’s mercy toward you. Through His power and His mercy, you were made alive together with Christ to such a degree that you and I are raised up and seated with Him in the heavenly places! All this because you were saved by grace through faith (by faith such that you know it is not by your works that you are saved). Your salvation and your faith are a gift from God!
We have works to do and we’re going to need faith to do them!
