We are called to holiness, but it is not OUR holiness, and the minute we start plastering good works onto our "resume" we lose sight of the glory of God . . . which is sin. Thanks be to God for His grace.

Thank you for sharing such truth in God's power to save & cleanse us from unrighteousness, not by any ability within us. It certainly is by His faithfulness that He sees Christ in us.

They are so taken with the depravity of man that they forget that Christ's sacrifice secured freedom from sin's penalty in eternity, AND freedom from its power right now! But you're wise to point out that this power isn't of ourselves, but only of God. May we abide ever more deeply in Christ, and walk worthy in holiness.

I sometimes believe that if I check off all of the "Do's" and avoid all of the "Don'ts," I can earn holiness. It's just not true.<br /><br />My only hope of living a life set apart for God is through the mercy of the cross."<br /><br />Amen, sister. This was a great reminder for me.
