Saved By Grace

As Christians, we are saved by grace through faith. In other words, salvation is not based on your good  works, how many people you have brought to Christ, or how popular you were in this world. 

Once you have taken your last breath, where your soul ends up depends on whether you have accepted Jesus as your Lord and Saviour or rejected Him. 

You could have been a life criminal and still end up with Jesus if you have repented and accepted Jesus.  For instance, while Jesus was being crucified, he had two criminals hanging beside Him. One mocked Jesus while the other believed in Jesus as the Christ and asked Jesus to remember him when He comes into His kingdom. Jesus assured the criminal that he will be with Him in paradise.

I know I have everlasting life in Christ, not because of my good works but because of my faith in Jesus Christ. ❤️

Relevant Bible verses:

"Then he said to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom.” And Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.” Luke 23:42-43

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." John 3: 16

"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast." Ephesians 2: 8-9

Second of November

While my colleague and I were letting the audience into the auditorium, this man said to me,, "Is it the second or the third today?" "It's the second of November today," I said. "I meant is it the second or third concerto?" he said.  I burst out laughing. His wife told him to check the programme. Before they went in, he told me my response could be used in a comedy sketch. That's what you get when you ask a literalist, like me, a question. 😄

Indiana Jones

Today, I was working as a host at three graduation ceremonies from the same university. At the end of each ceremony, the orchestra they had on stage played the theme song from the film, "Indiana Jones", composed by John Williams. By the end of my shift, I had that song stuck in my head. On the way home, I stopped at this restaurant to get some food then walked to the bus stop  As the bus I wanted got cancelled, I decided to travel a different route, which took a lot longer.  When I finally got home, I had a quick shower. I then turned on my laptop to watch some mindless TV on this film channel. Guess what film they had on? "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull." Very funny, God! 😂 Of course, I had to watch it again, even though I've seen it a zillion times. I never get tired of Indiana Jones films or that theme song. ❤️

Bananas

 A few days ago while I was grocery shopping, I wondered if I should get some bananas, but I decided not to as they don't last long. That's why I only buy a banana when I fancy one in that moment.  I got red grapes instead which last a lot longer. Yesterday, I didn't see my flatmate as I was already in bed by the time she got home. This morning when I went in the kitchen, I noticed my flatmate had left a note on the kitchen top for me to have these two bananas. I immediately gobbled one up. Thank you, God, for providing my bananas through my flatmate. ♥️ Photo of the note and bananas 😊
