I was Brought Up from the Pit.
That’s Grace, thats unmerited favor
“He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.”
— Psalm 40:2 (KJV)
None of us can climb out of the pit of sin on our own. We may try to clean up our lives, do enough good works, or turn over a new leaf, but deep sin keeps us stuck in the miry clay.
Grace is God’s unmerited favor—receiving what we could never earn and never deserve. God didn’t rescue David because David was perfect. He rescued him because of His mercy and love. In the same way, Jesus Christ came to save sinners, not because we are worthy, but because He is gracious.
If God has lifted you out of the pit, don’t forget where He found you. Let your life be a testimony that His grace still saves, restores, and establishes those who trust Him.
The Plan of Salvation (KJV)
God Loves You
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16
📖 We are all sinners.
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” — Romans 3:23
📖 Sin has a penalty.
“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” — Romans 6:23
📖 Jesus paid the price for our sins.
“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” — Romans 5:8
📖 Salvation is by grace through faith—not by works.
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” — Ephesians 2:8–9
📖 Receive Christ today.
“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” — Romans 10:9
If the Holy Spirit is convicting your heart, you can come to God in faith today:
“Lord, I know that I am a sinner. I believe Jesus Christ died for my sins, was buried, and rose again. I place my trust in Him alone to save me. Thank You for Your amazing grace. Help me to follow You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
Amazing grace isn’t earned—it is received by faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. He is still bringing people out of the pit today.
