Yup.

People overlook the fact that those poor souls never say I am a sinner and put my faith in you Lord Jesus.

They are all appealing to their own good works.

That’s one of the challenges. As a Christian you do need to examine yourself and be “as good as you can be”, but not to be saved because your salvation is the gift of God. But when you think you are doing pretty good, or when you think your salvation is at risk because your works of late are not up to snuff, you are missing the point in both cases. But we all do it to one degree or another. At least, I do.

Grace all the way through. Grace to get saved in the first place, grace to continue on the path, and grace that'll take me home.

Romans 8 says God gives us ALL things...graciously.

32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all--how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?
