“We are saved and sealed by GOD’s Grace, not by our merits.”
Seems like I’ve heard that somewhere before...
“For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.”—Ephesians 2
But just to drive the point home...
“So too at the present time there is a remnant, chosen by grace. But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace.”—Romans 11
While driving the point; it seems the target is made of Jello® and nails do not get much gripping power in it.
