Reading: Ephesians 2:1-10; John 14:1-6; Titus 3:4-7

Devotional: Many believe they'll enter heaven because they're basically good people who tried to keep the commandments. But scripture demolishes this comfortable delusion. Paul writes that we are saved by grace through faith—not by works, so no one can boast. Our good deeds are like filthy rags before a holy God. Jesus Himself declared, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." This isn't narrow-mindedness; it's rescue. A drowning person doesn't need multiple ropes—they need one secure lifeline. Jesus is that lifeline.

Titus reminds us that God saved us not because of righteous things we had done, but because of His mercy. Today, examine your hope: Is it resting in your performance or in Christ's finished work on the cross?
