And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from Me, ye that work iniquity” (MATTHEW 7:21-23).

Beloved, who is worthy…?

…our LORD JESUS CHRIST alone is worthy, for in Him we have redemption through His blood

“…made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel” (2 TIMOTHY 1:10, [JOHN 10:27]).

…our LORD JESUS CHRIST is worthy, for He is all our salvation

“…of Him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let Him glory in the Lord” (1 CORINTHIANS 1:30-31).

Beloved, we didn’t do a thing to save ourselves, rather the LORD did it all; indeed He is all our salvation and our sure hope of glory. AMEN!
