"Salvation is of the LORD." -Jonah 2:9

“ For H e knoweth our frame; H e remembereth that we are dust.” -Psalm 103:14 [KJV] I fear to even think about all the times that I have forgotten God. In the busyness of a day, in the laughter of a season of recreation, in the midst of distractions of family life, so often and in so many situations, hours without a thought concerning God. Hours without a thought of thanksgiving to Him for His goodness to me. Even long extended periods of time without any praise to Christ for His sacrifice and salvation. Oh what ungrateful wretches we are when left to ourselves! We're like the butler who remembered not Joseph. But God be thanked, He is not like us. He remembers! He remembers His elect in Christ. How wonderful that He remembers that we are just dust! He remembers His covenant, His pledge of grace to us. “To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember H is holy covenant” (Luke 1:72) .

What did Jesus come to do? Was it anything for you? God does tell us in His Word, Tell me sinner have you heard? Jesus came to live and die, Came to save and not to try. Sinners chosen long ago, By the Father, grace bestowed. Thus the faithful saying goes, Died for them and then arose. Now He sits and reigns alone, Interceding from His throne. Jesus came and thus He did, For the chief of sinners shed His own sinless saving blood, Washed them clean beneath that flood. Come to Jesus, sinners now, There before Him lowly bow. He whose life He freely gave, Reigns the Mighty One to save! Gary Shepard  77.77 Holy Bible, Book Divine

And we believe and are sure that Thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God." -John 6:67-69 [KJV] As it was with Peter and the rest of the disciples, so it is with all sensible sinners and true believers who see there is no other to go to for life and salvation, but Christ ; not to the law of Moses, which accuses, curses, and condemns, and by which there is neither life nor righteousness; nor to any creature, or creature performance, for there is a curse on him that trusts in man and makes flesh his arm; nor to their own righteousness, which is impure and imperfect, and cannot justify before God nor answer for them in a time to come; nor to their tears of repentance, which will not satisfy the law, atone for sins, or wash them away; nor to carnal descent, birth privileges, a religious education, sobriety,...
