You Cannot Earn God's Blessing

Ephesians 2:9…..not of works, so that no one should boast.

A lot of  people  are trying hard to earn the blessings of God.‌‌We have it ingrained that one need to change first before you can be blessed.‌‌The false notion that receiving Gods blessings and love requires work‌‌To receive proper treatment, you must first do something right.‌‌That's how we were brought up.‌‌Work for your reward.‌‌You got encouragement when you deserved it.‌‌If you did something wrong, you were warned

Let see what the Bible states

Galatians 3:13-14

Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law by being made a curse for us—as it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”[a]—‌‌so that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

1 Peter 2:24‌‌He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed.

The greatest gift that God bestowed upon us is salvation.‌‌However, the truth is that it is a free gift by grace; you cannot earn it.‌‌It is not earned but received, according to Paul, who claims that I am what I am by grace.

Ephesians 1:7‌‌In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,

1 Corinthians 7:23‌‌You were bought with a price; do not become slaves of men.
