Now God has us where he wants us, with all the time in this world and the next to shower grace and kindness upon us in Christ Jesus. Saving is all his idea, and all his work. All we do is trust him enough to let him do it. It’s God’s gift from start to finish! We don’t play the major role. If we did, we’d probably go around bragging that we’d done the whole thing! No, we neither make nor save ourselves. God does both the making and saving. He creates each of us by Christ Jesus to join him in the work he does, the good work he has gotten ready for us to do, work we had better be doing.
Ephesians 2:8-9 MSG
Psalm 22:27-28: “All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the Lord, and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee. For the kingdom is the Lord's, and he ruleth among the nations.”

I am in awe that He wanted to save me. And forever thankful.
Thank you, Reverend.
Thanks for the good words!
Yes. Given human nature, if we could fine a way to brag about saving ourselves, we would...
I talk to him every now and again. Great full for what we have. Just wanted you to know I stopped by.
Linda, I understand that completely.
You're welcome, NFO.
TB, I think we already do that; it's part of the problem.
Thanks, Rob; nice to hear from you. :)
