Today’s Bible Verse:
Ephesians 2:8 ESV

For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God,

When you’re happy, everything around you brings joy to your heart. You know it! You have a smile; this glow about you signals to others that you are in a good place. As Christians, I tell you to be happy and smile - your faith in Jesus Christ has rescued you. You have eternal life because Jesus paid for your sins on the cross. This joyous news is with you every day of your life. God loves you and has saved you from hell. He beat the devil and sin on the cross for His people. By faith alone, trust Him and sing His praise. For by God’s grace, you’ve been saved through faith. This is God’s gift to you.

Apostles’ Creed:

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth.

And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell. The third day He rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From thence He will come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Christian Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

The Lord’s Prayer:

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven; give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen.
