Israel ( Ephesians 2 v 8 - 9 )
Lets continue looking at Israel at the time of the Judges ,Consider what Michael Wilcock writes, ''There is one aspect of the gospel message as Judge conveys it, that Israel cannot save herself'', No they could not save themselves ,God provided Judges to do it,and they always did. This is a vital point to all the people of the world,we cannot save ourselves, salvation in total is of the Lord CP Jonah 2 v 9 . It means what it says, we cannot save ourselves, no so called natural goodness , can save us,no religion can save us, no good works can save us CP , Ephesians 2 v 8 - 9.No matter how well meaning you are, sincere you are, whatever,it will not change the truth ,God saves, and Him alone, what does that mean,well first of all we come empty handed to a holy God,with one cry on our lips, mercy,we must also recognise that mercy is received at the cross on which Jesus died.For Jesus work of salvation is the only work that can save us,nothing else . When I survey the wondrous Cross On which the Prince of Glory died, My richest gain I count but loss, And pour contempt on all my pride. Forbid it Lord that I should boast, Save in the Cross of Christ my God; All the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to His blood. See from His head, His hands, His feet, Sorrow and love flow mingled down; Did e'er such love and sorrow meet, Or thorns compose so rich a crown? Were the whole realm of nature mine, That were an offering far to small; Love so amazing, so divine, Demands my soul, my life, my all. ( Words ..... Isaac Watts )
