📘 Daily Devotion — July 9 | Acts 8:20 (NKJV) 💯 Grace Cannot Be Bought Simon attempted to buy the power of the Holy Spirit from the apostles. Peter strongly rebuked him because God's gifts are given by grace, not earned through wealth or human effort. Salvation, forgiveness, and spiritual blessings come only through God's mercy. No amount of money, achievement, or good works can purchase what God freely gives through Christ. This passage challenges believers to examine their motives. God desires sincere hearts that seek Him for who He is, not merely for what He can provide. True faith rests in God's grace and responds with gratitude and worship. Reflection Questions 1. Do I fully understand God's grace 2. What motivates my relationship with God 3. Am I relying on God's mercy rather than my own efforts Prayer Lord God, thank You for Your free gift of salvation through Jesus Christ. Help me to trust completely in Your grace and worship You with a sincere heart. In Jesus name Amen. Practical Application ● Thank God daily for His grace ● Examine your motives in serving God ● Share the message of salvation with others Takeaway Thought God's greatest gifts are received through grace, not earned. #LordsbookDailys #DailyDevotion #July9 #Acts820 #GiftOfGod #FaithNotMoney #SpiritualTruth #BibleInspiration #GrowInFaith
