“For by grace you have been saved
through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God…” (Ephesians 2:8 NRSV)
A young couple decided that the wedding
gift they received from the groom’s great- grandmother should become a
priceless heirloom, so they kept it folded in its original package and stored
it in a drawer. On the 25th anniversary of their marriage, the bride
decided to set a beautiful table for dinner using that heirloom, a special lace
tablecloth. To her dismay, it fell apart as she took it out of the package.
During the years of neglect it had rotted, been partly eaten by moths, and
become useless and ruined.
In a similar manner, unless we exercise
our gift of faith and are constant in worship and constant in contact with
God’s Word, our faith will become dull, static, and stale.
-- adapted from Howard Kramin in “Hebrews: The Fulfillment of
Faith”
