“But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me.” 1 Corinthians 15:10
Let Us Pray
Father, thank You for Your marvelous grace. Stir in us a desire to be builders in Your Kingdom. Help us live fully in the gift of salvation while offering our work back to You in joyful service. Amen.

Builders of the Kingdom Embrace Grace
Grace is mentioned only once in the Old Testament, yet in the New Testament, Paul references grace 86 times. He lived and breathed it, knowing his life was radically transformed by God’s unearned favor. Paul saw himself as the chief of sinners, yet also as the hardest worker among the apostles. Why? Because of grace.
He said, “But by the grace of God I am what I am.” Paul never claimed credit for his own efforts—he saw God’s grace as the engine behind every good thing he did. Grace didn’t make him lazy. On the contrary, it made him bold, diligent, and devoted. It made him a builder of the Kingdom.
We face the same choice today. We can settle into the comfort of being “members” of the Kingdom, or we can step up and become “builders,” like Paul. Membership in God’s Kingdom is a gift—completely free and unearned. But building takes effort, sacrifice, and a heart set on glorifying the One who saved us.
Every act of love, every word of truth, every moment we serve others—these are bricks laid in the spiritual building of God’s Kingdom. Grace does not excuse passivity. It fuels purpose.
Let Paul’s words echo in your heart today: “His grace toward me was not in vain.” Let’s make sure His grace toward us isn’t in vain either.

Salvation is God’s gift to us. Our work is our gift back to Him.
Amazing!
