Let's say you were going shopping for a new school year—specifically for an art elective. You have sketch pads, pencils, and erasers on your list. But these aren't everyday pencils and erasers. . . they're artists' pencils and erasers. So they can't be purchased just anywhere. When you step into that art supply store, you have a purpose.

The same is true for our faith in Jesus. We're not wandering without a reason to believe in our salvation. We trust we have salvation because of our faith. Without faith in God, salvation isn't possible. Salvation is the deliverance from the consequences of sin. Rather than having knowledge of this and going about our lives, we make a conscious decision that this salvation is for us. It's not a history lesson or facts on paper, it's an invitation given to us when we have the faith to believe.

What is it like knowing you have salvation because of faith and not your efforts? Who can you share this truth with today?
