It was God that provided
for us the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, and it is God who has
drawn us unto Himself and who has promised us all needed grace to
walk in the paths of righteousness; and more, even to follow in the
footprints of Jesus in the way of self-sacrifice. While, therefore,
with fear and trembling with great carefulness we endeavour
to work out our salvation, it is our privilege always to realize the
promised grace to help in every time of need, and to be confident
that our best efforts toward righteousness are acceptable to
God when presented through the merit of the righteousness of Christ,
imputed to us by faith. |
