Lets start with scripture:
"For my own sake and for the honor of my name I will hold back my anger and not wipe you out. I refined you in the furnace of affliction, but found no silver there. You are worthless and there is nothing good in you at all. Yet for my own sake ~ yes, for my own sake ~ I will save you from my anger and not destroy you lest the heathen say their gods have conquered me. I will not let them have my glory."
The work is finished. You can not add nor subtract from this. You can do nothing to earn your salvation. YOU CAN DO NOTHING TO EARN YOUR SALVATION.
Max Lucado: Can you earn your salvation? No. Don't dishonor God by trying.
Dare we boast about this salvation? By no means. The giver of bread, not the beggar, deserves praise. "Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord."
It's not about what we do; it's all about what He does.
Amen.
