If it’s not about Christ and His finished work, then it’s about PRIDE.

Which is exactly why we contribute nothing to attaining or maintaining our salvation.

If we did, we'd get some glory for it and could brag about how we did.

*I* went to the right church.

*I* took communion at the right church.

*I* was baptized in the right way.

*I* did the right good deeds.

But it being completely the work of Christ on the cross, it removes ANY self from the equation.

Amen sister!
22 years ago I left the Roman Catholic Church because the Lord loved me so much that He had somebody point out the error of my ways through Holy Scripture.

A dear sister in Christ had this as her “tagline” a few years ago. It’s the best one I’ve ever seen!

“Jesus + something = NOTHING, Jesus + nothing = Everything”

[Mark17]

Yes, all those “I” statements, remind me of another individual, who made one too many “I” statements, and he, and his home boys, were tossed out on their proverbial ears. 👋👎👽
