Sts. Peter & Paul, Apostles 2025

It’s too good to be true. There must be something we must do. It can’t just be a gift that we must humbly receive with thanksgiving. How can it be a gift that we have in no wise earned or deserved? Friends, it is with this thinking and the difficulty in receiving a gift that causes people to alter the gospel, the message of our salvation. We reason there must be something more than grace by itself, and faith by itself, to receive Christ alone to saves us. We want Jesus, plus something. And yet the authentic message is Christ alone saves us.
