“To delight in and savor the riches of God’s grace, we have to first understand that we are dead in our sin. We are not sick in our sins but dead.”

When spiritual comfort is sent to you by God, take it humbly and give thanks meekly for it. But know for certain that it is the great goodness of God that sends it to you, and not because you deserve it.
Thomas a Kempis

Tyndale Life Application Daily Devotion
Devotional for October 21
He is so rich in kindness and grace that he purchased our freedom with the blood of his Son and forgave our sins. He has showered his kindness on us, along with all wisdom and understanding. - Ephesians 1:7-8
Insight
Grace is God's voluntary and loving favor given to those he saves. We can't earn salvation, nor do we deserve it. No religious, intellectual, or moral effort can gain it, because it comes only from God's mercy and love. Without God's grace, no person can be saved.
Challenge
To receive it, we must acknowledge that we cannot save ourselves, that only God can save us, and that our only way to receive this loving favor is through faith in Christ.

If God’s favor could be earned, Paul’s impressive religious resume would have secured his acceptance. After he met Jesus, however, Paul’s accomplishments and pedigree no longer mattered to him; he only desired to know Christ and be found in Him. Walking us through the doctrine of justification, Alistair Begg explains that our righteousness comes from our union with Jesus, not our works. Though unfit for heaven, we need not fear judgment, because our sins were judged in Christ.
ok, in my opinion none of these types of awards are based on athletic achievements, to any player. Some mention messi. to me [to me and others ]^3 It doesn't matter the player. … the alternative is what I have said in Sportsburst Fans for four years. Delete all of these ballon dor/fifa best/player of the match/player of the year/team of the year or similar non provable I repeat non provable g.o.a.t. awards . And you know what there are awards you get to prove you played at the highest level every year: the winning team and second place team of the club world cup, which is the top of the club pyramid, which state you two are the best two clubs in the world from the past 365 days. ... what I just described is the non arbitrary the non subjective. Winning the club world cup/copa libertadores/ligue1 and getting one of those little round trophies saying you are part of the team that won isn't subjective isn't arbitrary, isn't based on fans,or media , it is purely uncontestable and deletes the player ranking that many fans sinfully desire for their egos. And there is space for individuals awards, they are called golden boots/golden gloves, but those awards don't speak about being the best in the world or any of that G.O.A.T. nonsense, it is about saying you were the best goal scorer in a given tournament cause you scored the most goals. This isn't about perception. The second someone says the highest level , that is a perception. The futebol world is literally a perfect pyramid. The club world cup is the top which can only be entered by confederation champions. the confederation cups are the second tier, only earned by the champions of FAs. The third tier are all of the first leagues in each FA, I repeat ALL the first leagues in each FA as at least one club in each first league in each fa gets an opportunity to prove itself against their confederation peers, the lowest leagues in each FA [barring the usa who alone resist merit between leagues for commerciality] are the bottom. IT is that simple. FIFA has a perfectly honest ranking system based on merit that fans of the game want to ignore for their vanity or egos or dysfunctional systems of ranking based on arbitrary or personal or philosophical ways.
Do you realize every single football club in the world outside the USA has a chance to win the club world cup through merit? I repeat....
