By the grace of God I am what I am!
(You will find it helpful to Listen to the Audio, as you read the text below.)
The apostle Paul again reminds us that God "saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of His mercy!" Titus 3:5
We must not trust in our good works for salvation, any more than in our vilest sins!
Salvation is, and ever must be, of grace, from first to last.
Our election from eternity,
our regeneration and conversion and justification in time,
and our glorification when time shall be no more,
are all the fruits of God's free and sovereign grace!
There is not a soul in Heaven who must not to all eternity say, "By the grace of God I am what I am!" 1 Corinthians 15:10
"God saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began!" 2 Timothy 1:9
