BIBLE VERSE: ” For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” —-Ephesians 2:8-9
BIBLE THOUGHT: When it comes to Salvation, it is ALL GOD. Man cannot and does not have anything to do with it as Ephesians 2:8-9 states. Works comes into play after an individual is Saved. But, irregardless of what the Bible says, man insists that he have a part in Salvation. There are many denominations that love to add works to Salvation. It makes an individual feel good about themselves, as if they have accomplished something. For those who teach such false doctrine, it is considered “another gospel” and let them be accursed. (Galatians 1:6-8). The Law was intended for Israel ONLY (Leviticus 27:34). Even after we are Saved we are still under Grace. Galatians 3:11 states “But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. Galatians 2:16 says “for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.” And then in Galatians 2:21 ”I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.”
DAILY THOUGHT: ”Salvation belongeth unto the LORD.” —Psalm 3:8
