About
Somewhere along the line, people got this crazy idea that salvation is something we can work for or earn. The problem is, that idea distorts both the nature of grace and the nature of our sin. In Romans 4, Paul emphasizes that if salvation came by our efforts, it would make God a debtor rather than a gracious given. Looking at both the examples of Abraham and David, Paul makes the case that perfect righteousness can never be earned. Rather, it's a gift that God credits to any who would believe his promises in Jesus Christ. Salvation has always been about believing God, not impressing Him. Do you find yourself believing it’s all up to you—or can you rest in the one who already said, “It is finished”?
