[QUOTE="Harry3142, post: 59776896, member: 145412"] We are assured of salvation through our accepting what God has done for us through Christ. It is through his work accomplished in his Son, Jesus Christ, that we are cleansed of our sins and they are removed from us. Due to a quirk in our nature we are incapable of keeping the law. The harder we try, the faster we fail. That's why it was necessary for Christ to come among us in the first place. God knows of this quirk, and has taken steps himself to deal with it. We do as God wants not because of our willpower, but rather because God's Spirit has dubdued our sinful nature and replaced it with a divine one. Because it is through what God has done in both areas, namely, our salvation and how we are to behave following having accepted the salvation, it is God who is due the credit. There is no reason for anyone to boast because of what he (or she) has done. If they have done what conforms to God's will, then they have done it because of the work that God himself already accomplished in them. [/QUOTE]
