"Grace is only for the deserving, those who have earned it through good deeds and perfect behavior."But the Bible tells us in Ephesians chapter two, verses eight and nine: "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God—not the result of works, so that no one may boast." This verse shows us that grace is a special gift from God that we don’t have to earn. It’s given freely to everyone who believes in Him.Start your day with a twist of divine irony!
