Genuine gold - All The Good Seed Daily Devotionals for 2026

To me this grace was given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ.
Ephesians 3:8

Genuine gold
I was standing as usual by my Bible stand at the market, offering people Bibles, gospels, other Christian literature and brochures. That morning a married couple suddenly stopped there. The husband said to me, "There is only one Person who can change our life." His wife pointed to the part of the stand where the brochures entitled "Genuine gold" were on display. In this booklet verses of the Bible point out the way of salvation.

The husband told me how Jesus had freed him from his habits. He had been leading a miserable life as an incorrigible smoker and drinker. One day, while out walking, he had found "Genuine gold" lying on a stone, where someone had left it. He had read it several times and found the verses quoted were the answer to his soul's deep needs. That is how he came to know the Redeemer, Jesus Christ.

We cannot undo our past, nor free ourselves from the power of sin. We cannot earn a place in heaven either by money and gold or by good deeds. But in Jesus Christ there is indescribable wealth for the taking. His atoning blood can cancel out our sins. If we turn to Him, confessing them and believing in His atoning sacrifice, God gives us the assurance that He has forgiven us and grants us eternal life.

Whoever knows Jesus Christ as his Redeemer possesses inexhaustible riches. Won't you accept this treasure that God is offering you today? Then you will know "the exceeding riches of his grace" (Ephesians 2:7).
