The Gospel: Triumph in Calling and Grace

The Gospel, though often rejected, holds a triumphant power that cannot be stopped. As the Scriptures declare, “Unto us who are called, both Jews and Greeks, it is the power of God and the wisdom of God” (1 Corinthians 1:24). Though many mock and dismiss it, God’s Word never fails. His promise stands firm: “My word shall not return to me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please” (Isaiah 55:11).

Christ’s sacrifice will never be in vain. If some reject the Gospel, others will embrace it. Heaven will not be lessened by opposition or unbelief. For every soul that resists, there are others who are called and saved. This calling is not by human effort but by the work of God Himself.

The call of God is twofold. There is a general call, like a bell summoning everyone, and a special, personal call, meant only for His children. The general call goes out to all, but the special call is irresistible and effectual. When Jesus calls a person by name, as He did Mary and Zaccheus, the response is immediate and life-changing.

This special call breaks the hardest hearts and draws sinners to Christ. It is the power of God at work, transforming lives in ways no human persuasion could achieve. Have you heard His call? If so, it is His grace working in you, drawing you to salvation, and ensuring that His triumph is complete.

“Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” – Romans 8:1

Understanding God’s grace changes everything. When you know you’re fully accepted, you don’t have to pretend anymore. When you know you’re completely loved, you don’t have to prove yourself anymore.

This doesn’t mean we don’t strive to be better—it means we strive from a place of acceptance, not for acceptance. We live differently not to earn God’s love, but because we already have it.

Let this truth sink deep into your heart today: in Christ, you are fully accepted, completely forgiven, and deeply loved. Nothing can change that.

Coming As You Are

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” – Matthew 11:28

Here’s the most amazing part about God’s grace: you don’t need to clean yourself up first. In fact, trying to fix yourself before coming to God is like trying to perform surgery on yourself before going to the doctor.

God specializes in dealing with broken people. That’s not a flaw in His system—it’s the whole point. The only people He can’t help are those who think they don’t need help.

Today, wherever you are, whatever you’ve done, you can come to God. He’s not waiting for a better version of you—He wants you, just as you are.
