If I Do My Part, God Will Do His

Objection Answered:
A Christian in the east of England used to say it took him forty-two years to learn three things- (1) That he could do nothing to save himself; (2) that God did not require him to do anything; and (3) that Christ did it all.

    If you learn these three lessons you will never talk about your doings. "Your part" is to admit that you are a helpless, hell-deserving sinner, unable to do anything to save yourself. "Your part" is to cease thinking of being saved by anything you can do or feel. "Your part" is to believe that Jesus did everything that was necessary - that He finished the work of atonement and paid the ransom price with His precious blood. Whenever you cease trying to be saved by your doings, and believe on the Lord Jesus, who did it all and paid it all, you become a son of God, an heir of glory, and joint-heir with Jesus Christ. "To him that worketh not, but believeth on Him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness" (Rom. 4:5).
 

It is finished, yes, indeed,
Finished every jot;
Sinner, this is all you need.
Tell me, is it not?

If God is satisfied with the "finished" work of Christ, you ought to be satisfied with that which satisfied Him.
