So, it is YOU that benefits by proclaiming the Truth of a Genuine Jesus, not the one invented by pretenders who come up shortchanged on confidence that Jesus does ALL the saving, but each of us that become His possession are expected to participate in the ongoing sanctification process; AFTER being saved, not BEFORE salvation by Him.

The judgment on each of the saved ones was done at the Cross.

(Romans 6)

Yes, sir. That would be me.

“AFTER being saved, not BEFORE salvation by Him.”

As a damned sinner, I bowed my knee one night to the King of the Universe and simply said that I was a sinner and I needed Him.

He answered most spectacularly and I live as a new person every day, always getting closer to Him. I want to cling to Him.

It may take us a while to learn that He is not only ALL we need, but that we can’t really live without Him. All else fails at some point or another, and we certainly fail ourselves all the time.

He does the saving. My part was the sinning, to my shame. He saved me, I’m being sanctified by Him, and He will see that I’m glorified with Him ... as hard as that is to imagine, and I have a hard time even typing it out because I know He is holy and I know what I am.
