“Whether then it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed. Now if Christ is preached, that He has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?” (1 Corinthians 15:11-12)
I have saved no one. I do not have a tally of those who have come into a saving relationship with the Lord because of any words I have spoken. Whether I or they, it is the moving of the Holy Spirit and the will of the Father that brings any to that eternal relationship made possible by grace. “Jesus saves” is a true saying. I am a part, but He is the Whole. Come then and do your part that God may be glorified.
It was never intended that the world would rest upon any one of our shoulders. It has always been intended that we, the created, would depend upon the Lord who is the Creator of all, Live in this relationship which the Lord has created and be content with the grace given you. Be thankful that He has opened your eyes and ears to see and hear the truth of the Gospel.
Lord Jesus, You have come that as many as believe would not perish but have everlasting life. Lead me in the goodness Your grace supplies that I may be a part of Your eternal kingdom. Let me not be caught up in the wicked schemes of the devil, but in the glorious truth of Your appearing. Guide me by Your grace to live the life to which You have called me that I may learn to be faithful in all things. Amen
