Devotion 1/13, Live in Gratitude
I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Ephesians 4:1
In chapters 1-3 the apostle Paul shows how we were dead in our sins and how God—in his mercy—has given us new life in Christ by pure grace. Then in chapter 4, Paul urges us to respond with gratitude to this good news.
How can we show appreciation for the gift of new life that God has made possible for us? And how can we show our children and others around us how to live in gratitude?
Gracious God, we thank you for the great gift of salvation in Jesus Christ. Thank you for showing us mercy and grace. Help us to live thankfully and to share this good news and gratitude with our families, neighbors, friends, and others that pass on our path. Amen.
