In Ephesians 2:8 we are told that we are saved by grace through faith. In this message, Angus reminds us also of the verse in Mark 11:22 which tells us to have faith in God. Not faith in our own ability because we are not made righteous through any act of goodwill or kindness or because we think we are a, ”good” person. We are only made righteous when we acknowledge that we are sinners and invite Jesus into our hearts. It is only by His Grace which is unmerited favor or loving-kindness shown toward us. No-one who has ever lived, apart from Jesus, will make it into heaven except through the saving grace of Almighty God!

Personal testimony

Hebrews 13:8. There is nothing more powerful than a personal testimony. Acts 6:10, 15. Steven became the first martyr as he testified about the power of God. People are not interested in what we have to say, they are interested in what He, Jesus Christ, the Word of God has to say. Colossians 1:27. When they looked at Stephen they they thought that they were looking at an angel, because they could see Christ in him. When Jesus speaks, we need to listen up.
