Saving You Was All His Idea...Not Yours.
Kids dream of being a first round draft pick in the NBA. Getting in the NBA is hard...but staying in the NBA is harder. It's all based on skill and performance.
Ephesians 2:8-9 (message bible) Saving is all His idea, and all His work. All we do is trust Him enough to let Him do it. It’s God’s gift from start to finish! We don’t play the major role. If we did, we’d probably go around bragging that we’d done the whole thing!
We don't gain access into the Kingdom of God with our skills and performance. We get on Gods team only through His Son. God isn't checking your stats...He's checking your status. Either you're IN Christ or you're not.
Saved By His Grace...Now Be Changed By His Love. jrg
