—Ezekiel 36:25-30
by: Trisha Gerstel.
It is easy to get caught up in the false notion that we are responsible for our own salvation—that we must work to attain God’s forgiveness. Thankfully, the Word of God is filled with reminders of the truth which contradicts this notion: Our work is to “believe in Him whom [God] has sent” (John 6:29); God has taken upon Himself to provide for our salvation (v.25) and to fill us with His Holy Spirit (v.27) so our hearts can be made new, capable of not only better understanding His perfect Law, but also filled with a desire to comply with those loving commands.
