Day 2 — Grace for Salvation and Redemption

Monday, June 22, 2026 · 6:30 PM · 21 Days of Overflowing Grace

The Word — “You Didn’t Earn It — Grace Gave It!”

There is a question that has haunted humanity since the fall of man in the Garden of Eden: How can a sinful man stand before a holy God? The answer is not found in religion, ritual, or righteous deeds. The answer is found in one word — GRACE. Grace is the very heartbeat of God toward fallen humanity. Tonight on Day 2, we explore what it means to be saved by grace and redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ.

1. The Problem Grace Solved — Sin and Separation. For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). Sin separated us from God, sentenced us to death, and enslaved us to darkness. The wages of sin is death — but God in His infinite grace refused to leave us in that condition. Where sin abounded — grace did much more abound. Grace is always greater than sin. Grace is always more powerful than the problem it addresses.

2. How Grace Saved Us — The Work of Redemption. Redemption means to buy back, to ransom, to set free by paying a price. God became flesh through the Incarnation — full of grace and truth. On the cross, He paid the price for our redemption. Every stripe, every nail, every drop of blood was grace extended toward undeserving humanity. Through the Resurrection, He conquered death — proving that grace is not just sufficient for life, it is victorious over death itself.

3. Salvation Is By Grace Through Faith — Not Works. Ephesians 2:8-9 establishes three critical truths: Salvation is BY GRACE — it originates entirely in the heart of God. Salvation is THROUGH FAITH — faith is the hand that reaches out and receives the gift. Salvation is NOT OF WORKS — no man can boast before God about earning his salvation. It is a gift — and gifts are not earned, they are received with gratitude and humility.

Declare Today

• I declare that I am saved by grace — not by my works or my efforts.
• The gift of salvation is mine — freely given and freely received.
• I walk in the fullness of redemption today.
• My past has been erased by the blood of Jesus and the power of His grace.
• I am a new creation — old things have passed away.
• I am no longer condemned — I am justified by faith.
• Grace found me, grace saved me, grace keeps me.
• I am saved. I am redeemed. I overflow with His grace. Amen!

Pray

1. Thanksgiving for Salvation. Father, we thank You for the greatest gift ever given to humanity — the gift of salvation through Your Son Jesus Christ. We thank You that You did not leave us in our sin. We thank You for grace that found us when we were lost. We worship You for the blood of Jesus that washed us clean. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
2. Prayer for the Unsaved. Father, we lift up every unsaved soul before Your throne of grace tonight. We pray for our family members, friends, colleagues, and neighbors who do not yet know You. Lord, let the same grace that saved us reach them. Draw them by Your Spirit. Soften hardened hearts. Let this 21-day program be a season of mass salvation. In Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.
3. Deeper Revelation of Redemption. Holy Spirit, we ask for a deeper revelation of what redemption means for our lives. Help us to truly understand the price that was paid for our freedom. Let the revelation of the blood of Jesus be fresh and powerful in our hearts. Give us a holy awe for the gift of salvation. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
4. Prayer for the Backslidden. Lord Jesus, we pray for every backslider — those who once knew You and have drifted away. Father, let Your grace pursue them. Let Your Spirit draw them back. Remove the shame that keeps them from returning. Remind them that Your arms are still open wide. Let this be the season of their restoration and return. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
5. Breaking Generational Sin. Father, in the name of Jesus, we come against every generational sin and iniquity passed down through our bloodlines. We apply the blood of Jesus to every generational pattern of sin, addiction, and darkness. We declare that the grace of redemption breaks every chain of generational bondage tonight. In Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.
6. Freedom from Guilt and Condemnation. Lord, we pray for every person carrying the weight of guilt and condemnation. Those who feel too sinful to be forgiven. Father, let Your Word speak to them: There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1). Let them receive the full forgiveness that grace provides. Set them free from the prison of guilt. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
7. Overflow of Salvation. We declare over this 21-day season that salvation will overflow in our church, our community, and our city of Chicago. We decree that souls will be added to the Kingdom daily. We declare that testimonies of salvation will fill this house. From Grace to Grace — WE OVERFLOW! In Jesus’ mighty name. Amen!
