So you were planning to work out your salvation/perfection yourself ehnn??? You feel because you give to the poor, refuse sex, attended last week‘s church program and participated in the last fast you will be made perfect??? Sorry, to disappoint but the Bible itself said it that our righteousness is like a filthy rag in His sight. There is only ONE way to gain perfection; through the One who wants you to be perfect. My meditation some day took me here and it made perfect (pun unintended) sense; Jude 24:
Now to him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you without blemish before the presence of his glory with rejoicing, (RSV)
What I still ask though is that, isn’t any work required on our part??? Should we abandon the alms giving, self-imposed chastity, church programs cos it doesn’t work out our salvation and just wait for Him to do “magic” in us???
On the lighter note, the commentary I use had this to say about relying on other people:
…often unwilling when able, and unable when they are willing…
Very true. Have a great day folks.
