Romans 3:27-28 New International Version (NIV)
27 Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded.
Because of what law? The law that requires works? No, because of the law that
requires faith. 28 For we maintain that a person is justified by
faith apart from the works of the law.
God's salvation leaves us no room for boasting. We couldn't
live up to the righteous demands of the Law. When we are broken and sinful, God
buys our salvation by sending Jesus and having him pay the debt of our sin. We
have nothing to boast about except the overwhelmingly generous grace of God and
the incredible sacrificial love of our Savior, Jesus.
Thought for today:
Do I brag on my capabilities forgetting to give God the glory?
