And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God — not a result of works, so that no one may boast.” ~ Ephesians 2:8–9 “Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.” ~ 1 Corinthians 1:25  “And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.” ~ Ezekiel 36:26  “and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.” ~ Ephesians 4:23-24  “So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.” ~ 1 Corinthians 10:31  “A man’s pride will bring him low, But the humble in spirit will retain honor.” ~ Proverbs 29:23  “Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” ~ John 14:6A Message from Melissa:“Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.” (1 Thess.‬ ‭5‬:‭21‬): Study the Scripture for yourself and remember that I am just a person sharing the Gospel. I make mistakes. I don't explain the Word of God in a way that will resonate with everyone. I am not going to get it right all the time, and nor will any teacher, preacher, YouTuber, or pastor. I believe we can learn so much from each other, but no person's teaching can replace getting into the Bible yourself. As Christians let's focus more on the truth that unites us -- that we are saved by grace through faith because of what Christ did for us on the cross -- rather than on the details meant to divide us. Thank you for being here, and thank you for giving me grace. ***DISCLAIMER: Embodied by Grace is a faith-based wellness podcast created for informational and inspirational purposes only.
