Take a Moment: Day 3 Devotion & Prayer From Pastor Batiste

Day 3: Salvation as a Gift

Reading: Titus 3:4-7


Our salvation is not earned but freely given. This truth, emphasized in today's reading, should bring both humility and joy to our hearts. We can't boast about our salvation or look down on others, because it's entirely a gift from God.


How does this reality impact your view of your own spiritual journey? Are there areas where you've been trying to "earn" God's favor instead of resting in His grace? Take time to thank God for the gift of salvation, and consider how you can live today in a way that reflects gratitude for this unmerited gift.


Prayer

"Father, I thank You for the incredible gift of salvation. I confess that at times I’ve tried to earn what You freely gave. Today, I choose to rest in Your grace and rejoice in Your mercy. Help me to live with gratitude and to reflect Your love in all that I do. Keep me humble, and remind me that my salvation is not because of what I’ve done, but because of who You are.


In Jesus’ name, Amen."
