Bible Note: I think what you have shown us is that you are somewhat limited in your abilities. God has no such limits. He is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy. It must be said, however, that salvation is not like getting on a boat. The Lord requires repentance toward God, and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. When we turn to him in faith he saves us, and the job is finished. Yes, there are other things required of us after that, but not for salvation. We love him because he first loved us. We serve him because we are saved. Let us, each of us, make sure we are. But we cannot save ourselves. We need him. |
