For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. Eph2.8-9 NKJV
The salvation of the Christian is a gift no matter how one looks at it. We can no more brag about this gift, than we can the color of our eyes or how tall we‘ve become. There will be no bragging rights for those who enter the Kingdom of Heaven, just the stark realization of God’s phenomenal grace. Nor was not the luck of the draw or the astrology of stars which set our feet away from perdition, but the divine purpose of a loving Father who in kindness leads us repentance and faith. How precious that God would make a gift of that which we could not possibly earn. 10/30/07 ts
Just me trying to be honest with God.
