Galatians 3:3
Are you so foolish? After beginning with the Spirit, are you now trying to attain your goal by human effort?
Philippians 1:6
being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
Many Christians believe that their justification is based on grace, the blessings in their Christian life are based on works, and their future glorification will be based on grace. Where is the error in this thinking? (see Galatians 3:3 and Philippians 1:6)
There is nothing that we can do to get where we want to go. Give God all the credit - it belongs to him anyway. 'Twas Grace that brought me here and Grace will lead me home... so too shall Grace help me lead my life... I can't do it by myself - and God doesn't want me to. He wants to do it - and he's the only one who can!
