Day 4: Grace: The Great Equalizer

Today's short passage packs a powerful punch, reminding us that salvation is a gift from God, not something we can earn. This truth is the ultimate antidote to spiritual pride and the tendency to look down on others. When we truly grasp that we are all saved by grace alone, how can we withhold that same grace from others? Take a moment to reflect on your own journey of faith. Can you pinpoint moments where God's unmerited favor has been evident in your life? Let gratitude for this grace overflow into generosity towards others. Today, practice extending grace in a situation where you might normally be quick to judge or criticize.

Reflection Questions:

- When have you been tempted to earn your way into God's favor?

- How does understanding grace as a gift change your view of yourself and others?

Application:

In your interactions today, actively look for moments where you can extend grace. Whether it's offering forgiveness, understanding, or patience, let your actions be a reflection of the grace you have received.
