This devotional explains the Gospel of Grace as Paul delivered it to the early Church. In 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, Paul declares the message he received from Christ Himself: Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day. This is the foundation of our salvation. Nothing can be added to it, and nothing can replace it. Salvation is not earned through works, rituals, or the Law of Moses. It is received by trusting in the shed blood of Jesus Christ. We explore how Jesus fulfilled the Law completely, declaring “It is finished” in John 19:30. Because He fulfilled every requirement, believers are no longer under the Law but under grace. Paul reinforces this truth in Galatians, explaining that no one is justified by works of the Law, but only by faith in Christ. Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law so that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. This devotional also examines Paul’s teaching to the Ephesians. We are redeemed through His blood and forgiven according to the riches of His grace. Salvation is the gift of God, not of works, so no one can boast. Yet Paul reminds us that we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works. Our works do not save us. They reveal the salvation we have already received. We then look at the sealing of the Holy Spirit, who marks us until the day of redemption. Being born again means our spirit is renewed in Christ, and the Holy Spirit convicts, guides, and strengthens us as we walk in righteousness. Paul encourages believers to study the Word, rightly divide the truth, and live a life pleasing to God so they will not be ashamed before Him. This devotional invites you to reflect on the Gospel's simplicity and power. If you have trusted in the blood of Jesus, you are saved by grace alone. If you are still relying on your works, your efforts, or your goodness, Scripture calls you to trust fully in Christ. This is the Gospel of Grace: Jesus died for our sins, rose again, and will return for those who belong to Him. If this message encourages you, consider sharing it with someone who needs to hear the Gospel's simplicity.
