Joyce Meyer Daily Devotional – 9th December 2025 (Tuesday) Message
TOPIC: Grace, Not Works
For the Law was given through Moses, but grace [the unearned, undeserved favor of God] and truth came through Jesus Christ. — John 1:17 (AMP)
TODAY’S MESSAGE
Many New Covenant believers still live under the Old Covenant, or they mix the old with the new. They have some grace and some law, but in reality they have neither one. Grace and law can’t be mixed.
The law demands that we work to keep it. It requires sacrifice on our part when we fail. The apostle Paul taught that works of the flesh and grace could not be mixed, or both become useless. Grace is Jesus Christ working, and law is man working. God does not need our help to save us. We can live by faith, through which we receive God’s grace, instead of living by trying to keep the law in order to soothe God’s anger.
PRAYER OF THE DAY: Lord, thank You that I am saved by Your grace, not my works. Help me rest in faith, trusting You completely instead of striving to earn Your approval, amen.
