Paul reminds us why we have been saved. Many think that being a good person will get them into Heaven. However, Paul explains that salvation is not a result of good works. Salvation is a gift that has been freely offered. Remember that God did not have to save us, but He is full of grace and mercy. He sent Jesus to save us, and those that call upon the name of Christ will be saved. This reminds us that although we may do good things, we are still sinners in need of a Savior. All the good things that we do don't earn our way to Heaven. The only way to be saved is through faith in Christ. We cannot boast in our good works, for we have all still sinned. However, we can boast in our Lord, that He is the one who saved us. Have you thought that you could earn your way into Heaven? Seeing that you cannot, have you put your faith in Christ, who purchased your salvation by His blood?
