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

" God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world." — Galatians 6:14 [KJV] Satan is very busy to hinder the Christian's glorying in Jesus ONLY. As an adversary to the truth, he objects, by the men of the world, and it is frequently suggested to the believer's mind, "Jesus is ever uppermost in your heart and tongue; you ascribe no glory to God the Father, and to the Holy Spirit."

We must, therefore, get away from thinking that the message of Christ is exclusively for evangelistic meetings!  The gospel is every bit as much for the believer as it is for the lost and believers will grow in faith as they are exposed to the good news of Jesus Christ. What a wonderful gift of God faith really is!...
