>”This is not a day of faith but of presumption. I ask you “Are you a Christian?” You start telling me what you’ve done. I didn’t ask what you’ve done. A Christian is a product of God’s grace. A Christian is the result of what God has done; He is always the giver and we are the receiver. There is no merit in receiving; you wouldn’t brag about receiving would you?
Preachers are telling people to accept Jesus as their Saviour and be saved. According to the Scriptures, that is not true. You have to surrender to Jesus as your Lord, and as your Lord He saves you by establishing His blessed rule in your life. We must give God the glory. Salvation is of the Lord. We are to say, “I am a Christian because God saved me. All I did was to benefit; He shed His blood to make atonement for my sins; He did all the giving, all I could do was to receive.” ~Rolf Barnard.
