Just as You Are

BIBLE MEDITATION

“To the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved.” Ephesians 1:6

 

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT

Do you have a “know-so” salvation? What I mean is, do you know that you are saved and have the assurance that if you died tonight, you’d spend eternity with the Lord in Heaven?

Many folks don’t have that assurance, and in some cases, it is not a spiritual problem. It is a psychological problem. They cannot accept the fact that God has accepted them.

Charlotte Elliott penned these words to a timeless hymn of assurance:

“Just as I am, without one plea, 

But that Thy blood was shed for me, 

And that Thou bid’st me come to Thee, 

O Lamb of God, I come, I come!”

You are accepted just as you are. It is all grace.

ACTION POINT

Find the hymn “Just As I Am” and sing it to the Lord. Make it your song throughout the day when Satan tries to make you doubt God’s love and eternal gift of salvation.
