I watched this video this morning, and wanted to share it with you. Sometimes it is nice to be given reminders such as these. While I "know" the things presented in this sermon, I can lose sight of the real reason for my confidence; and sometimes a fresh prospective can make us think a little more about something we have taken for granted.
Our salvation does not start with us. Our salvation does not even start with God's love for us. Our salvation does not *depend* on us!!!
Our salvation was planned before our lives ever existed. Our salvation starts with God's love for the Son and the ultimate plan for His never ending glory. Glory that has never been apart from Him, and never will be. Our salvation depends only on the truth of the Lord's words... and He can never lie.
"Such is the confidence that we have through Christ toward God. Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency is from God." -2 Corinthians 3:5-6
I am so glad I came across this post. I listened to the first bit of the video you shared and am so interested already.

I'm so glad to hear that, Vanessa! If even one person benefits from it, I am glad I shared it! I'd love to know what you though if you get a chance to finish it :)!
