Short Thought #33: You Can't Save Yourself

You cannot by any means save yourself. If that was the case then Jesus would have never had to go to the cross. Stop trying to save yourself! It is an impossible undertaking. Instead go to Jesus! The sinful nature of man can only be cleansed by the life giving, redemptive blood of Jesus Christ! Then and only then will you be made whole and Holy in the eyes of God the Father. It is not by works, your righteousness is of filthy rags. You can never do enough for God to say, “Okay, they don’t need the blood of Jesus. They've done enough good.” It does not work like that, it is by faith and faith alone in Jesus Christ for your eternal salvation. God does not have a balance on which He weighs your sins and your righteous acts of goodness on. If you think it’s that way, you are wrong and are in dire need of revelation from God. Only by the sanctifying blood of Jesus Christ can you be saved and set free. So if you want freedom, go ahead and yield! Your Savior is waiting for you. God Bless!
