You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified. I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by believing what you heard? Are you so foolish? After beginning by means of the Spirit, are you now trying to finish by means of the flesh? Have you experienced so much in vain—if it really was in vain? So again I ask, does God give you his Spirit and work miracles among you by the works of the law, or by your believing what you heard? So also Abraham "believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness." (Galatians 3:1-6 NIV)
You foolish Wessels! Are you saved by what you do or by believing? There is nothing we can do to be "good" to earn our salvation. We are saved by Jesus's work on the cross. That's it! Never be proud of your good works but rather boast in the cross alone. He loves us and we love him. Let it be Don't add to it!
