Ending His Letter

So we come to the end of Paul's first letter to the Thessalonians. He ends his letter much the same way he begins his letter. "Grace be with you" (1 Thessalonians 5:28).

Those four words carry one of the greatest messages that any person will ever hear. God's grace us what saves us. God's grace is what daily sanctifies us, cleanses us from sin. God's grace purifies our hearts and our minds. God's grace gives us strength to obey him. God's grace gives us work to do and dies the work through us. God's grace denotes all of God's gifts to us.

Face all of your challenges today remembering that you are living with and in God's grace.
