Never Disqualified (Part 1)

    Romans 8:38-39 38 "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,  neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” 

     You are never disqualified! But how many times do we feel like we blew it or have done too many bad things to deserve God’s love. The truth is there is no amount of good acts or sinful acts that can change God’s love for us. That is the great message of grace! Satan can try to drag us down and disable us with lies of disqualification. And just as Jesus fought off Satan’s temptation with the power of Scriptures from the Word of God (Luke 4:1-13), so can we. If disqualification is paralyzing you, pray these verses and say them daily, and let freedom come that will enable you, empower you, and equip you to respond to what God is calling you to today and everyday. Being a man that lives a legacy, loving your wife, your kids, and those you encounter each day can only happen when you embrace the truth of who you are as a man of God.

 Ephesians 2:8-9 “ For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith —and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—  not by works, so that no one can boast.”
