Just get over it already... For by grace you have been saved by faith... Grace gave you the Cross ... You now have to save yourself-
You can't do both. Either I am saved by faith or I save myself
But nobody CAN save themselves.
The only one who can forgive a debt is the one to whom it is owed. The good works that I do or try to do cannot pay the penalty I owe for my sin, which is death.
There is no way to have the record of debt I owe God for my sin canceled except that it be forgiven by Him.
And when He forgives, it's forgiven.
Psalm 103:12 .... as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us.
