An Important God Equation

“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.” (Ephesians 2:8,9)

We are nothing……………………………………..0
God is Everything……………….........................+ Everything
Our nothingness, plus, God’s Everything, equals = Everything

All that we are and all that we have come from God as a gift. God is a “gift giver” and gives to us richly and freely all things to enjoy (I timothy 6:17), because God loves us and “love” gives. Any physical wealth, health or favor we have are all gifts from God. Any spiritual wealth or health we have are also gifts from God, so we cannot boast that we have obtained them of our own strength, ability, ingenuity or intelligence. But we must acknowledge that we can do all things through Christ (Philippians 4:13), and boast in Him as being our “everything” (Psalm 34:2; II Corinthians 6:17). We must remember: He is the Great I AM! He is the eternal Everything (Exodus 3:14)!

(HE’S EVERYTHING TO ME)
W. by Kate Ulmer & Kate Byron

In sin I once had wandered, All weary, sad, and lone,
Till Jesus through His mercy -- Adopted me His own.
E’er since I learned to trust Him, His grace doth make me free,
And now I feel His pardon, He’s everything to me.

In sin no more I’ll wander; He’s Pilot, Friend, and Guide;
He brings me joy and singing; His Spirit doth abide.
A blessèd, loving Savior, The Lamb of Calvary!
He purchased my redemption. He’s everything to me.

No longer will I stray from -- His tender, loving care;
Like Him to be my purpose, My aim, my constant prayer.
And when He bids me welcome -- Throughout eternity,
I’ll praise His Name forever. He’s everything to me.

Refrain:
He’s everything to me, From sin He sets me free,
His peace and love my portion -- Through all eternity!
He’s everything to me, More than I dreamed could be.
O praise His Name forever! He’s everything to me.
