“God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8 NIV)
Salvation, from beginning to end, is a work of our Father. God doesn’t stand on a mountain and tell us to climb it and find Him. He comes down into our dark valley and finds us. He doesn’t offer to complete the work if we will start it. He does all the work, from beginning to end. He washes our sins without our help. What a gift God has given us.
“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our LORD.” (Romans 6:23 NIV)
