Joy Is Our Sustaining Strength Day 3

Day 3: Working Out Your Salvation

Reading: Ephesians 2:8-10 

Devotional: Salvation is not earned by good works—it's a gift received by grace through faith. However, we are called to "work hard to show the results" of our salvation. This means our lives should give evidence that Christ lives in us. Walking in love when it's difficult, extending forgiveness when we've been wronged, serving others with kindness—these require effort. They're not always easy, but they demonstrate that we belong to Jesus. We are God's masterpiece, created for good works He planned long ago. Your obedience to the Holy Spirit's promptings, your choice to be kind to everyone, your decision to forgive—these are the beautiful evidences of salvation at work in you.

Reflection: What evidence of Christ's work is visible in your daily life?
