If your salvation, in whole or in part, is looked upon by you as something that is dependent upon, or determined by, your will or your works, you are lost, a Christless, graceless soul, an idolater (Gal. 5:1-4). You may talk about God and grace, Christ and redemption, the Holy Spirit and regeneration, but you really worship yourself. Your trust is in your decision, in your water baptism, or in your church membership. Your confidence is in your goodness. Your peace is derived not from what Christ has done, but from what you have done. In your opinion the thing that separates you from the damned is not the will of God, the work of Christ on the cross or the grace of the Spirit, but your own will, your own work, and your own worth. I urge you to flee from your idolatry. Smash to pieces the gods of free-will, good works and human worth. And trust in the Lord Jesus Christ and His imputed righteousness alone... Seek salvation on the basis of grace alone, in Christ alone, through faith alone!...Pastor Don Fortner.....thanks Elmarie Swart
