Breaking Free from Self Salvation
Breaking Free from Self-Salvation
Ephesians 2:8-9, Galatians 2:16
Both the younger and older brothers in the parable were engaged in "self-salvation projects" - one through self-indulgence, the other through self-righteousness.
Today's readings remind us that salvation comes through faith alone, not by our works or merit. Consider areas in your life where you might be trying to earn God's favor or prove your worth.
How can you surrender these efforts to God and rest in His grace? Pray for a deeper understanding of the freedom that comes from accepting God's gift of salvation rather than trying to achieve it on your own.
