God is doing the work — not us.

No not really... You have to make a conscious decision...get up, get dressed, get in your car, drive to the church and walk the isle to get that grace.. it is a work

God grants graces.

Prayers for you to recognize that.

You don't have to go anywhere. Seek and ye shall find, ask and ye shall receive. Jesus says behold and stand at the door and knock. All it takes is to cry out to God that you are sinner in need of a savior. A simple “remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.. .” from a repentant heart is all it takes.

No man, no church, no baptism, and no work conveys God's grace. There is no outward work to opening a door or accepting a free gift.

Revelation 3:20“Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.”

And what beautiful picture these verses present. Open the door of your heart and Jesus will come and then he breaks bread with us. Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
