"For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast." Ephesians 2:8-9 BSB
If you're like thousands of other runners across the world in search of the "Best Black Friday Deals for Runners" today, you might want to save yourself some time and head straight to Runner's World where the editors have taken the work out of finding the best online deals. Especially during the pandemic, there’s no need to join a crowd in stores because retailers are already offering deals online that you can shop from the comfort and safety of your home... we sorted through many of our favorite retailers and brands to help you find the best prices on running gear, shoes, headphones, smartwatches, and more fitness products.
And you know, finding online deals is not the only thing that doesn't require work. The Bible tells us that it's "by grace" that you and I have been saved and "not by works..." Which means salvation, or the forgiveness of sins, is a gift that we did not deserve and could never work for. That's why it's a "gift of God," freely given to us the moment we put our faith in Jesus Christ. And you can be sure that this "gift" is immeasurably more precious and priceless than anything we could ever find in a store or online. In fact, if unsaved people truly understood the infinite eternal value of receiving salvation you can be sure they would head straight to the Giver of the gift to receive it as well.
So if you have already accepted the "gift of God" that is salvation, count yourself blessed my friend. But remember that there are countless people in this world who haven't; people that need to hear the Good News of the Gospel. And that's where you come in. Won't you share that Good News today?
Heavenly Father, thank You for the reminder that there are lost people in this world in desperate need of salvation. Give us a sense of urgency in reaching these people Lord as the days draw short. Help us to remember that we are all called to be missionaries whether we are in our own backyards or in a foreign country. It's in your precious name pray Jesus. Amen,
Happy Running!!!
