Saving Ourselves

If we died with Him, we shall also live with Him.
Thank you, Jesus, for your willingness
to surrender to Your Father's will.
For if You had chosen to save Yourself,
You could not have save me, Amen.

Salvation isn't turning over a new leaf, it's receiving a new life...

Inside, music was playing, Outside, leaves were falling. Catching a gust of wind, one of the last leaves of autumn blew briefly upward as I heard the phrase, He is risen!. By the end of the song, however, the leaf had reached the ground. Gravity had overcome the breeze.

The forces of sin outside cannot defeat the life of Christ inside.
