Do you believe that it is God who saves us? Do you give yourself any credit?
For Jesus says "No one can come to me unless the Father draws him, and I will raise him up on the last day" John 6:44
It is not of ourselves, but the gift of God, and it is the power of God in us that draws us and saves us.
Romans 3:10 "No one is good, no one seeks after God"
--Do you believe this? Do you give yourself credit for being saved by Jesus Christ? Do you believe you are the one who found Him or do you believe He found you?

John 15:5
"I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.
-Amen, apart from Jesus Christ we can do nothing!

yay chippy! Yes
"His banner over me is love! He is the vine and we are the branches, his banner over me is love!" I remember that in sunday school too when I was young.

No I give myself no credit. If it was not for Jesus's faithfulness to die on the cross for us, none of us would have received salvation. I can not take credit for His faithfulness.

__Prerequisite For Lord’s Harvest__
Adam and Eve ate, assimilated, or consumed knowledge from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, that is Satan. Later God said.
Gen.3:22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of Us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
All must eat, assimilate, or consume knowledge of the tree of life, that is Jesus Christ, to live forever. Notice that the individual must put forth their hand. Born innocents into this flesh age all consume knowledge of good and evil. All are sinners.

The Almighty YHVH set up a system. He sent His “Son” YAHOSHUA to die for the sins of mankind so they would not have to. (They could choose to, but did not have to). Any person who chooses not to allow Yahoshua to take care of their sins, chooses to remain attached to their sins. They thus will wind up in the lake of fire which is YHVH method of cleaning this world, and eliminating sin and sinners. The Creator set aside the Seventh day for rest and worship. Yes that is the day usually called “Saturday”. We are not saved by obedience, we are saved by faith. However we are saved FOR obedience. As He said in John 14:15 (and in many other places) “If you love me, keep my commandments.
Churchianity is a pagan religion. The only thing that will change a person is the indwelling savior Yahoshua. Obviously that is rare in this sinful world.
