DAILY DEVOTIONAL FROM PASTOR WESLEY October 31, 2022
Our Greatest Gift
Because God gave us the gift of faith, we can choose to spend eternity with Him.
And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience. Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest. But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace, you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them. Ephesians 2:1-10
What do you consider your most prized possession? If it’s anything material or physical, it won’t bring lasting satisfaction. Why else do so many people keep trading up and racing to have “better” and “more”? In their quest for this world’s goods, a lot of people overlook the most valuable asset of all—faith.
And faith is a gift from the Lord, not something we can work to obtain. We’re saved only by God’s grace, through faith in the work of Christ on our behalf. On the cross, Jesus bore the punishment that we deserve, and He gives eternal life to all who trust Him.
Without faith, we would have nothing of lasting value. Then all would be lost at death, leaving us to face eternal punishment “away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power” (2 Thessalonians 1:8-9).
Have you received God’s great gift? If not, won’t you place your trust in the Savior today? When you acknowledge Jesus as Lord and believe that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved (Romans 10:8-10). You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

This is Dr. Michael Wesley, Sr.'s latest book on the subject of marriage. As a Pastor he has counseled many couples before, during, and after marriage so this has given him keen insight into the marital relationship. He himself has been married to the same woman for over 40 years so he has a wealth of knowledge on this subject. In this book Dr. Wesley covers that marriage comes from God, the keys to compatibility, the keys to staying in love, and even what to do if you feel you have married the wrong person. This is an excellent read if you are considering marriage in the future or even if you are currently married.
