Is Anyone Really Worthy?

Christ alone is worthy!
You will never be worthy except through the blood stained cross of Christ!
Christ thought you worthy of saving, a sinner doomed.
He rescued you from the fiery pit of hell!
You must repent.
Let that sink in!
Now, do you believe God is able to accomplish His salvation promise of long ago? 
That said promise came in the form of a man who is the Christ?
He was crucified, died and rose again 3 days later.
Christ alone is the only acceptable way for man to have salvation!
Your faith in Christ and His ability to save sinners is all you have to stand on, not your works, not your lineage, not your anything except Christ crucified!
Faith in Christ, period!
The by-product of faith is to love your brother and share the gospel, these are what we strive for.

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." - Acts 4:12

20 No unbelief made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God,
21 fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised.
22 That is why his faith was "counted to him as righteousness." - Romans 4:20-22

And that was counted to him as righteousness from generation to generation forever.  - Psalm 106:31

Works and faith
You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone. - James 2:24

For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead. - James 2:26

You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by his works; - James 2:22

By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was in the act of offering up his only son, - Hebrews 11:17

remembering before our God and Father your work of faith and labor of love and steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ. - 1 Thessalonians 1:3

3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,
4 who gave himself for our sins to deliver us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,
5 to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen. - Galatians 1:3-5

28 Then they said to him, "What must we do, to be doing the works of God?"
29 Jesus answered them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent."
30 So they said to him, "Then what sign do you do, that we may see and believe you? What work do you perform?
31 Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, 'He gave them bread from heaven to eat.'"
32 Jesus then said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven.
33 For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."
34 They said to him, "Sir, give us this bread always."
35 Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.
36 But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe.
37 All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out.
38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will but the will of him who sent me.
39 And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up on the last day.
40 For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day." - John 6:28-40

And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. - Galatians 6:9

6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth.
7 So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth.
8 He who plants and he who waters are one, and each will receive his wages according to his labor.
9 For we are God's fellow workers. You are God's field, God's building.
10 According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and someone else is building upon it. Let each one take care how he builds upon it.
11 For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. - 1 Corinthians 3:6-11

Ask God to increase your faith.

Savory this:
and you are Christ's, and Christ is God's. - 1 Corinthians 3:23
