ONLY HIS PERFECT, SINLESS LIFE, LAID DOWN WILLINGLY COULD SAVE US. THE DEBT OF SIN CAN ONLY BE PAID BY THE SHEDDING OF BLOOD, OF LIFE. ONLY JESUS, THE PERFECT LAMB, COULD REDEEM US FROM THE DEBT WE ALL OWE. HE PAID THE PRICE AND, WITH HIS RESURRECTION, SHOWS HIS POWER OVER DEATH. HE DID ALL THE WORK. OUR WORKS, OUR EFFORTS, ARE WHAT WE DO IN THANKFULNESS FOR HIS WORK AND HIS GRACE
"FOR BY GRACE ARE YE SAVED THROUGH FAITH, AND THAT NOT OF YOURSELVES: IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD: NOT OF WORKS, LEST ANY MAN SHOULD BOAST.
