I thank God for all men who have worked righteousness in God. For it is not of man but God in us. Let us not boast in ourselves for we could be brought low because of this. Praise God for all things. After all this is the kingdom of God and His people in it.
I have great concern that many don’t realize that God is involved in our actions whether good or bad. He does not bring bad on us but allows us to make the choice. If it is good, it is God in us working all good we do if it is not done for personal profit. If the good we do is done expecting nothing back, it is God. If we choose evil He might allow it to happen.
The Lord will do our battle against evil if we choose to do what He says. We know that good or evil is a choice for us, and if we seek to obey God no matter what happens will be a gain for us, whether it be death or life.
Salvation is in obedience, not religion.
