One of my favorite verses is this....

2 Corinthians 5:20-21 Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

That is an excellent passage to illustrate our point.

2 Corinthians 5:20-21 Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

It is not we who are doing it but “God is doing it through us”. That’s the error of the Catholics trying to take credit for giving us the scriptures and so many other things they try to take credit for.
