I Uphold My Integrity - Jerold W Aust - March 1984

It's human to try to justify ourselves - witness Job's example! But what does God require of us in terms of righteousness? Millions of professing Christians believe they can come to God "just as they are"! They reason that Jesus Christ "did it all" for them at the cross. All one has to do now, they believe, is accept Jesus in the heart, profess to love Him and be "born again". Sounds simple, doesn't it? But does God's plan of salvation really work this way? Does Jesus' sacrifice remove all responsibility from us? Why, then, does the apostle Paul tell us to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling (Phil. 2:12)? And what does it mean, exactly, to be born again? - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
