- "Man, not willing to accept God's remedy for his ruin,
strives to bring about his own salvation by human means.-
01) He strives for self-righteousness, when he needs to be
made the "righteousness of God" (2 Corinthians 5:21 & Isaiah
64:6). –
02) He strives to reform, when he needs to be regenerated
(Titus 3:5).
03) He strives
to turn over a new leaf, when he needs a new life (John 10:10).
04) He strives to be justified by the Law, when he
needs to be justified by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ (Galatians 2:16).
05) He strives to clean up the old man, when he needs
to be made a new man in Christ (Ephesians 4:24).
06) He strives
to be saved by good works, when he needs salvation by the grace of God
(Ephesians 2:8-9).
The only remedy for the ruin of man is the Son of God, being made sin for us on the cross. The only way to receive this remedy is by faith in Him as personal Savior (John 20:30-31)."
