“For it is by grace [God’s remarkable compassion and favor drawing you to Christ] that you have been saved [actually delivered from judgment and given eternal life] through faith. And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [not through your own effort], but it is the [undeserved, gracious] gift of God; not as a result of [your] works [nor your attempts to keep the Law], so that no one will [be able to] boast or take credit in any way [for his salvation].” (Ephesians 2:8-9 Amplified Bible)
Salvation is worth working for. It is
worth one’s going around the world on one’s hands and knees, climbing its
mountains, crossing its valleys, swimming its rivers, going through all manner
of hardship in order to attain it. But we do not get it that way. It is to the
one who [simply and humbly] believes [in Christ].
-- Dwight Lyman Moody
