No one will climb a ladder to heaven by his own merit and be able to say, "Look what I did!" This attitude demeans the finished work of Christ. We cannot add anything to what He completed.

Exactly!

The one who did the labor or the purchasing is the one who gives the gift; not the one who receives the gift.
The one who receives the gift did no labor or purchasing at all.

Steko it is a great post. L




Psalm 1[/color] and Job 28:28

Rev 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

Joh 4:23 "But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers.

I love the God of my Lord Jesus Christ

Cains they are! They bring a sacrifice that God does not want.

Great post, steko!




Funny how threads morph.


For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him." ~ Paul

Thanks, for the SPOTD, Tambora!

And thankyou, Wiley, Saint John W., A4T, Keypurr and Chickenman!

I would that all on this forum could rejoice in the Gospel of Grace, giving honor to the LORD Jesus Christ and and being thankful for the life that He has won for us.
