NKJV 365

NKJV 365 Day Reading Plan

Day 345 of 365 What did we do to merit our salvation? What great deed or accomplishment did we pull off? Are we worthy recipients of this gift? Hardly. God calls us sinners who have willfully departed from the way of righteousness, fallen short of God's standards, and badly missed the mark. Instead of loving God with all our being, we have rebelled against him. At one point we were actually God's enemies (Col. 1:21). Finally, we were powerless to save ourselves. So much for deserving our salvation! Instead, God saved us for his own sake, because of his love and grace. Period. Taken from Start! The Bible for New Believers Isaiah 48:11 NASB 11 "For My own sake, for My own sake, I will act; For how can My name be profaned? And My glory I will not give to another.
