Phil 4:19:8-10
For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
It doesn't matter how long we are in receipt of a gift, whether yesterday or 10 years ago, a gift will always remain a gift.
We need to remind ourselves daily that grace is a gift, so we do not gradually slide into the trap of believing that the grace in our life has anything to do with our level of obedience or service through works.
Our mind set needs to maintain the continued revelation that our works come from His gift of grace, therefore we can only boast in the gift and the one who gives and never in the works which it empowers us to accomplish.
