Boast only the work of God

Friends,

It is far too easy for a man's ego to fool him. We are quickly convinced that the Lord saved us because of our good works, our compassion or our willingness to serve our fellow man.

Where is boasting then? It is excluded.
By what law? Of works?
No, but by the law of faith.
Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith apart from the deeds of the law.
Romans 3:27-28 [NKJV]

Our salvation is utterly dependent on the grace and love of a wholly sovereign God. Nothing is outside of His will or His power. We boast only His mercy. And we give glory to only true God who is worthy.

Be encouraged, Jose
