It's Not You, It's Him

Christian, please realize than you are saved and accepted by God through Jesus Christ. You did nothing to deserve, or earn it.

Understand that the same situation existed with the nation of Israel. They were chosen not by anything they did or were, other than that they were pathetic and small.

Even though God told them over and over that He chose then for His own reasons, they still became arrogant, and believed they some how deserved His favor.

They didn't, any more than we do...as Christians.

"Not by works, so no one can boast."

If you think you are better than the poor lost soul, stuck in drugs, alcohol, sex, ignorance, or crime, you are as mistaken as the Nation of Israel, just before God brutally humbled them...

He warned them too, before judgement came.
