POPULARITY
When we try to make our salvation about what we have done to attain it, we start relying too much on what we think we can do to get it and to keep it, But we are not able to and when we think we can, we start thinking too much of ourselves.

Harvest Bible Fellowship's weekly Message.
Paul has made it clear that salvation depends upon God alone; for he will have mercy upon who he has mercy. Even so, we know that God’s decreed will has clear and noticeable outcomes in people’s actions: Pharaoh’s heart was hardened and he did not let people go. So what has Israel done that demonstrated their failure to obtain the blessings? What is the source of their unbelief? Paul makes it clear: they pursued the law by works, not by faith. This is the failure of all who forsake the grace of Christ!
