Salvation: What About?

Our salvation showcases God’s mercy. It makes nothing of our effort but everything of His.

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,
with 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.
(Is. 48:9-11 TLB)

God saves us for the same reason he saved the Jews. Can we add anything to this salvation? No, because the work is finished. Can we earn this salvation? No. Don’t dishonor God by trying.

Dare we boast about salvation? By no means. The giver of the bread, not the beggar, deserves praise.

After all, it’s not about what we do; it’s all about what He does
