Day 5

Happy Friday! :)

Here's what I read in Scripture today:

1 Thessalonians 2:13-15
But we ought always to thank God for you, brothers loved by the Lord, because from the beginning God chose you to be saved through the sanctifying work of the Spirit and through belief in the truth. He called you to this through our gospel, that you might share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. So then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the teachings we passed on to you, whether by word of mouth or by letter.

It's a good reminder that we are saved through the Spirit and through faith in the gospel (the truth), not through our own goodness or religious practices. And it's amazing that we get to share in the glory of Jesus. We do not deserve that, but yet God generously gives it to us. He is so gracious and merciful.
