GOSPEL NUGGET #185

How Are We Not Saved? 

Eph 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that NOT OF YOURSELVES; it is the gift of God,
9 NOT OF WORKS, lest anyone should boast.

How are we NOT saved? Two things: a) Not of ourselves and b) Not of works. Combine the two ideas and we have: "We are not saved by trying our best to be saved."

Our best is not good enough. We are saved by God's Best--- His one and only Son --- when we put our trust in Him alone for salvation. 

Don't TRY your best. TRUST in God's Best!!!
