Paul explains to the Ephesians that they have redemption and forgiveness for their trespasses because of the blood of Christ and the grace of God that has been poured out upon them. We love our accomplishments, whether it be trophies, certificates, plaques, etc. These things all highlight something we have done. However, there is not a single thing we have done to accomplish our salvation. It is all through Christ and by His grace that we have been saved. You may have done some great things in your life, but you have done nothing, and will not be able to do anything, to earn your salvation. Because of this, we should love Christ all the more. We owe our lives to Him. We owe our salvation to Him. We owe everything to Him, and this should be our response. Are you glorifying Christ in your daily life for who He is and what He has done for you that you couldn't do for yourself?
