No Credit Accepted

Ephesians 2:6-8 (New Living Translation)

6 For He raised us from the dead along with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ Jesus. 7 So God can point to us in all future ages as examples of the incredible wealth of His grace and kindness toward us, as shown in all He has done for us who are united with Christ Jesus. 8 God saved you by His grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God.


As I read and reread that holy Scipture it just continues to keep me balanced and secure in the finished work of Jesus Christ. Truly it takes all pressure for performance off of us doesn't it?!?! Well is should, because it let's us know that no amount of good works, no amount of sacrifices, church tithes paid, homeless fed, verses memorized, or accolades from our Pastors, peers or mentors counts toward our Salvation. Sometimes saints get to a certain place of obedience in their walk with Christ that they try to pay God back. Feeling good about themselves and doing really well dying to the world and sin they sometimes fall victim to the idea of "I'm good now and I can take it from here." No matter how victoriously obedient we may become in this life by way of God's Word, Spirit, and grace, the fact remains that Jesus paid it all and there is no need to "work" for what Jesus already provided. There is only One who will be praised in Heaven for giving up His life for ours---Jesus The Lamb of God. So rest in that and rejoice when you share it! That's truly Good News!

Evangelism Memory Verse Hebrews 2:3

Hebrews 2:3 (Amplified Bible)

How shall we escape [appropriate retribution] if we neglect and refuse to pay attention to such a great salvation [as is now offered to us, letting it drift past us forever]? For it was declared at first by the Lord [Himself], and it was confirmed to us and proved to be real and genuine by those who personally heard [Him speak].



Hebrews 2:3 (New Living Translation)

So what makes us think we can escape if we ignore this great salvation that was first announced by the Lord Jesus himself and then delivered to us by those who heard Him speak?




Hebrews 2:3 (King James Version)

How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard Him;

Boast About Christ

Galatians 6:14 (New Living Translation)

As for me, may I never boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of that cross, my interest in this world has been crucified, and the world’s interest in me has also died.

I don't know about you but this world is NOT my home. I love and am thankful for my family and the wonderful people and things that God has blessed me with but like the verse above my interest in this world has been crucified. I don't care about things or affluence.I only care about pleasing God and living for Him. I love the second part of that verse, the world's interest in me has also died. Praise God for that!! We should rejoice when the world looks on us as useless or as fools! They looked at Christ and everybody that He has ever redeemed in the same light. God however sees us as kings and priests! I want to encourage you to find out more about the lifestyles of the kings and priests of old. Why? For balance sake. We live in a world and sadly even among other Believers where there is a constant pressure to live and dress the part of being a king and priest. Please don't fall victim to that lie. Some of us may have been predestined to live and dress like kings or priests and some of us may not, but the fact remains the same you and I are who we are in Christ regardless of our educational, financial, or social background. As we grow more and more in the knowledge of Jesus Christ, who we really are in Him, and embrace the fact that we have been crucified in Christ and to the world we will be less prone to boasting about who we are and what we have. We will begin to boast more and more about the cross of Jesus Christ and Him crucified.
