Unconditional Salvation

 

But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works, otherwise grace is no longer grace. Romans 11:6

Many believers still think that salvation is conditional. That somehow if they don’t live faithful enough lives or do enough to merit their salvation, that God will ultimately reject them.

In other words, God’s grace has its limits.

That’s why I’m so glad verses like this are in the Bible. Paul’s point is simple: If our salvation has anything to do with how we live, either before of after we’re saved, then it ceases to be grace.

The point of grace is that we can’t do anything to earn it, either before we’re saved or after it. We’re saved by the unconditional, wildly irrational love of God. And after we’re saved, we’re secured in God’s family by that same wild, irrational love.

Bottom line: you never deserve salvation. Not on even your best day.

That’s why it’s called Grace.

Today, God wants you to live and love with abandon. He’s got you. If you fail, he’s still got you. Walking on spiritual eggshells was never what God intended for you.

Holy God, thank you for your wild, irrational love. Help us to live and love with abandon today. In Jesus’ name . . . .
