Look at what He is, and what He has done; not at what you are. -D.L. Moody
But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. Hebrews 9:11-12
If my salvation is based on my good works and I can lose it, then it takes away from what scripture says, “He obtained eternal redemption.” My salvation isn’t based on me but Jesus and His finished work on the Cross. My salvation is complete! It is complete in Him, for Him, and by Him. If it’s based on me, a sinner saved by His grace, then I could lose it for I am not capable of keeping myself from the “least” of sins. Oh what a Saviour is mine that He would redeem a worm such as I. Wicked and vile no more, but redeemed how I love to proclaim it, redeemed by the Blood of the Lamb!
