Yes! There is no room for any personal pride or boastfulness when we acknowledge that it is God working in us both to will and to do according to HIS good pleasure.

Yep. There is usually lots of pride in works based religions. When I was a catholic, I started coming around, when I stopped being prideful, about how good a life I was leading. When I finally realized I couldn’t make it to Heaven, by my good works, I was on my way to salvation by grace alone, through faith alone. Oh yes, scripture alone too. 👍😁😇
