Grace Over Grind: Resting in the Gift of Salvation
Scripture: Ephesians 2:8–9

“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast.”

What does it truly mean to be saved by grace? In this powerful episode of Unshakeable: A Daily Christian Devotional Podcast, Reverend Ben Cooper unpacks the life-altering message found in Ephesians 2:8–9—a bold reminder that salvation is a gift, not a reward.

Many believers unknowingly fall into the exhausting cycle of trying to earn God’s approval. Whether it’s through church attendance, ministry service, or striving for moral perfection, we often treat faith like a scorecard. Today’s devotional shatters that mindset with this liberating truth: you are saved by grace through faith, not by works.

Episode Highlights:

• A deep dive into the meaning of grace as God’s unmerited favor
• Exposure of the “treadmill Christianity” mindset—where effort is mistaken for intimacy
• Encouragement to stop measuring your worth by what you do for God, and rest in what God has done for you
• Practical examples of how legalism creeps into everyday Christian life

Reverend Cooper calls out the lies that many believers live under—believing that cleaning church toilets or volunteering endlessly somehow secures a higher spiritual standing. Instead, we are reminded that our identity is rooted not in doing, but in being—being children of grace, loved and accepted because of Christ, not our contribution.

Life Application

What would change in your life if you truly believed that you are enough in Christ?
 Would you stop striving? Would you rest? Would you pray with more joy and serve without burnout?

Grace doesn’t dismiss discipline—it repositions it.
 We serve from acceptance, not for acceptance.
We love God because He first loved us, not because we’re trying to earn that love.
