Christ as My Savior

As I think about the numerous blessings I receive in my life because of my relationship with Jesus Christ, truly the greatest is the faith in a personal Savior. I feel blessed by my faith and belief in the saving grace of Jesus Christ. As I've thought about why I believe in Christ and the hope I have in his atoning sacrifice two of my favorite scriptures come to mind. The first is from the Bible in the book of Romans:

For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God;

Being justified freely by his grace though the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. (Romans 3:23-24)

The second comes from the Book of Mormon in 2 Nephi:

For we labor diligently to write to persuade our children, and also our bretheren, to believe in Christ, and to be reconciled to God; for we know that it is by grace that we are saved, after all we can do. (2 Nephi 25:23)

I don't want to get into my own personal shortcomings yet it is obvious that I have come short of the glory of God. But it is so comforting to know that through Christ and His love, His grace will be sufficient. I know that because of Him I can repent and change my life so that I can be with Him again.
