For by grace you have been saved through faith. It is the gift of God, not of works, so that no one can boast. Through Jesus Christ, we are saved and made right with God. Only by His grace can we be saved and experience eternal life.

Jesus said, “The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Jesus taught us that serving others is the greatest act of love and sacrifice. He gave His life that others might have salvation. Through His example, He gave us a blueprint of how to serve and how to be a servant leader.

Jesus declared that God had anointed him to bring good news to the afflicted. He said that God had sent him to proclaim freedom for captives, to give sight to the blind, and to free those oppressed by injustice. He promised that the year of the Lord’s favor had arrived.

God desires all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. Through Jesus’ death and resurrection, He made it possible for us to be reconciled to God, no matter who we are. The Lord offers salvation to everyone who calls on Him. We are encouraged to intercede for all people, so that God's will is done and everyone can come to repentance.
