Is it that hard to give the credit to God for the changes in us and the sanctification? The only eventual work we are doing is getting out of HIS way so He can work through us...
1 Corinthians 15:10 But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
Colossians 1:29 Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.
I agree... and say the following...
1. God's creation in Christ Jesus
2. God's Plan
3. God's Sacrifice
4. God's Son
5. God's Word
6. God's Blood
7. God's Way
I can go all day.....ONY ONE who deserves the credit...God dia Jesus period......All praise, all glory, all worship goes to God the Father dia Jesus....
Those you have entered into HIS REST have ceased from their OWN LABOR
Hebrews 4:3-4 For we which have BELIEVED do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into MY REST: although the WORKS WERE FINISHED FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD
Hebrews 4:10 For he that is entered into HIS REST, HE also HATH CEASED FROM HIS OWN WORKS, as God did from HIS
Why do people fail to enter into the REST OF GOD...they do not mix the gospel with FAITH<-----NOTHING ABOUT WORKS LISTED HERE
HEBREWS 4:2
For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the WORD preached did not PROFIT THEM, not being mixed with
FAITH in them that heard it!
Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of GOD
It pleased GOD by the FOOLISHNESS of preaching to SAVE THEM THAT BELIEVE......To those who add a legalistic, Pharisee type works unto faith for salvation and or to keep salvation it is FOOLISH that GOD would save by FAITH alone!
The WORK was finished in GOD's mind before the casting down of the world....MIX faith with the GOSPEL=entrance into the REST of GOD (salvation) and one who has done this has CEASED from HIS OWN EFFORTS and TOIL as a MEANS TO ENTER INTO THE REST THAT IS FOUND IN GOD.........!
