“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” -Ephesians 2:8, 9
What we have to remember is that Jesus did it ALL. This not only includes salvation but, health, wealth, promotions, protection, and so much more. We have to be mindful not to rely solely on our own efforts, merits, ideas, and the world’s system only to replace what Jesus has done.
For example, when we take medicine, vitamins, workout, and eat right, we have to realize this alone won’t make us live longer. God has already promised us in Psalm 91:16 with long life HE will satisfy us. Our faith for long life should rest in God not our healthy rituals. Now, before you start throwing all your vitamins away and quit your workout plan, God’s Word also says faith without works is dead (James 2:17). God has given us tools we can use to assist in fulfilling His promises.
Just remember to put your trust, hope, and full confidence in God and not our works alone.
Be Blessed!
