We have nothing to
boast about when it comes to our souls.
We owe our salvation to the Lord and we owe His workings in our lives to
Him. There is nothing we can take credit
for. We are saved by grace, kept by grace,
and will make it to heaven by grace.
Jesus did all there
was to do for our salvation. There is
nothing left to do on our part. He
started and finished the work of salvation at Calvary. He didn't need our help then, and He doesn't
need it now. All we can do is accept
what He did for us by faith. We trust in
His finished work. We confess our sins
to Him, repent of them, and by faith claim His forgiveness, righteousness and
holiness.
We cannot take credit
for keeping our souls saved. It is by
faith that we let go of the control of our lives to the Holy Spirit and let Him
work in us our salvation. We simply give
Him the freedom to make us holy. We put
into practice the faith we have and let the Lord do the rest. He will only work with a willing and yielded
vessel. He can only do in us what we are
willing to let Him do.
When we live by faith
and obey the Lord, the Lord will see us through unto heaven. Our readiness for heaven is guaranteed when
we live by faith in His finished and ongoing work in us. He makes us holy, a people after God's on
heart, a people fit for heaven. If we
must boast, let us only boast in the working of Christ on our behalf at Calvary
and the workings of the Holy Spirit in us daily to make us holy.
