With God there are no brownie points! You can not earn the salvation that Christ gives! Our salvation was purchased, on the cross, through misery and suffering that was due us, but that punishment was taken by another! The dept of this, we can never understand! Our shame and His pain, Jesus endured, all the while being not guilty! But, we are guilty before a holy God!
Father, use Your Word to convict the lost. Help me to teach Your love and forgiveness so that others may know the depth of You. Help me teach Your Word so that they may have confidence before Your throne of grace and mercy. Amen
You can not earn salvation, it is by faith in Christ!!
Eph.2:8-9
8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God,
9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
Not anyone can offer salvation except Christ!
Acts 4:12 And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."
Mercy and compassion are offered by God alone! The fact being, we can not earn salvation so it belongs to God who gives according to His will.
Romans 9:14-16
14 What shall we say then? Is there injustice on God's part? By no means!
15 For he says to Moses, "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion."
16 So then it depends not on human will or exertion, but on God, who has mercy.
