Thank God His Salvation is ALL, 100% of Grace

[Dylan569]

For it is by grace you are saved through faith; it is not your own doing. It is God’s gift, not a reward for work done. There is nothing for anyone to boast of; (Eph 2:8-9, REB)

By God’s act you are in Christ Jesus; God has made him our wisdom, and in him we have our righteousness, our holiness, our liberation. Therefore, in the words of scripture, ‘If anyone must boast, let him boast of the Lord.’ (1Cor 1:30-31, REB)

for you have been granted the privilege not only of believing in Christ but also of suffering for him. (Phil 1:29, REB)
For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake; (Phil 1:29, KJV)

for it is God who works in you, inspiring both the will and the deed, for his own chosen purpose. (Phil 2:13, REB)

The preceding statements in God’s word truly offend the natural man.

There are things hidden, and they belong to the Lord our God, but what is revealed belongs to us and our children for ever; it is for us to observe all that is prescribed in this law. (Deut 29:29, REB) *We are not to pry into the hidden and secret things of God like who is of the elect; we are to obey God word and teach our children to do likewise.

All the more then, my friends, do your utmost to establish that God has called and chosen you. If you do this, you will never stumble, (2Pet 1:10, REB) *We are to establish that we, ourselves are called, the chosen, ….NOT judge the election of others.

I just so love the Word

by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.

Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.

For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned.

In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one;

For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.

I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

For we walk by faith, not by sight.

For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.”

So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
