They normally did not go well. Either a brainiac, an egomaniac, or a sluggard usually messed things up. Too many people contributing to one common project caused things to just not be as good as if one person is doing a project.<\/p>\n<p>The reality is, most people think that becoming a Christian is a joint project &#8212; they contribute all they can and Jesus finishes the job. They have to contribute something since Jesus died for their salvation. They must do their part and Jesus then does his part. Yes, his part may be bigger and more, but still I&#8217;ve got to contribute at least something to make it sufficient.<\/p>\n<p>But lets be fully clear about what salvation is not.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0Salvation is\u00a0not a group project<\/li>\n<li>Salvation is\u00a0not a joint effort<\/li>\n<li>Salvation is not a 50\/50 deal<\/li>\n<li>Salvation is not 2 colleagues both contributing something<\/li>\n<li>Salvation is not a team effort<\/li>\n<li>Salvation is not a partnership<\/li>\n<li>Salvation is not\u00a0a shared labor<\/li>\n<li>Salvation is not like a doubles team in tennis<\/li>\n<li>Salvation is not me trying hard to get better and Jesus helping me improve<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Salvation is all of grace with no self-contribution that to some degree, helps, adds to, secures, or improves our acceptability with God.<\/p>\n<p>The only thing that merits anything is Christ&#8217;s worth and righteousness, and not anything about us. We indeed must come to him, but that faith is not meritorious, but rather is simply the means of receiving forgiveness and acceptance. Our faith doesn&#8217;t earn anything; it is just how we come empty-handed to receive freely from Christ.<\/p>\n<p>There is absolutely nothing whatsoever we can contribute to help Christ save us. All we give is our sin and our sinful hearts. We only receive, we don&#8217;t contribute.<\/p>\n<p>I wonder when people will finally get it. Salvation is all of the Lord or it is not anything. This adds new meaning to Jesus&#8217; words: &#8216;I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.&#8217;<\/p>\n<div class=\"notes\">\n<h3>More on the Beauty of Salvation<\/h3>\n<p><div class=\"woocommerce \"><ul class=\"products columns-3\">\n\n\n<div class=\"product-box\">\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/banneroftruth.org\/us\/store\/christian-living\/salvation\/\" class=\"woocommerce-LoopProduct-link woocommerce-loop-product__link\">  <a href=\"https:\/\/banneroftruth.org\/us\/store\/christian-living\/salvation\/\" >\n    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"324\" height=\"528\" src=\"https:\/\/banneroftruth.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/10\/8067-01-324x528.jpg\" class=\"attachment-woocommerce_thumbnail size-woocommerce_thumbnail\" alt=\"Salvation Mini-Guide by Ian Hamilton\" srcset=\"https:\/\/banneroftruth.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/10\/8067-01-324x528.jpg 324w, https:\/\/banneroftruth.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/10\/8067-01-184x300.jpg 184w, https:\/\/banneroftruth.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/10\/8067-01-629x1024.jpg 629w, https:\/\/banneroftruth.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/10\/8067-01-92x150.jpg 92w, https:\/\/banneroftruth.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/10\/8067-01-768x1251.jpg 768w, https:\/\/banneroftruth.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/10\/8067-01-943x1536.jpg 943w, https:\/\/banneroftruth.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/10\/8067-01-150x244.jpg 150w, https:\/\/banneroftruth.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/10\/8067-01-520x847.jpg 520w, https:\/\/banneroftruth.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/10\/8067-01-144x235.jpg 144w, https:\/\/banneroftruth.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/10\/8067-01-196x320.jpg 196w, https:\/\/banneroftruth.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/10\/8067-01-416x678.jpg 416w, https:\/\/banneroftruth.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/10\/8067-01-648x1056.jpg 648w, https:\/\/banneroftruth.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/10\/8067-01.jpg 1227w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 324px) 100vw, 324px\" \/>\t       <\/a>\n\n\n  <div class=\"main-info\">\n \u00a0 \u00a0<h2 class=\"title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/banneroftruth.org\/us\/store\/christian-living\/salvation\/\" >Salvation<\/a><\/h2>\n\n    \n      <h3 class=\"subtitle\">Full and Free in Christ<\/h3>\n\n    \t\t<p class=\"author\"><span>by<\/span>\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/banneroftruth.org\/us\/store\/theauthor\/hamilton-ian\/\" rel=\"tag\">Hamilton, Ian<\/a>\t\t<\/p>\n\t\n  <\/div>\n\n  <hr class=\"divider\">\n\n\n  <div class=\"price-box sale\">\n    <span class=\"price-label\">price<\/span>\n          <span class=\"price\"><ins class=\"exclude-from-dp\"><span class=\"from\">From: <\/span><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-amount amount\"><bdi><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-currencySymbol\" translate=\"no\">&#36;<\/span>6.50<\/bdi><\/span><\/ins><\/span>\n      <\/div><!-- \/.price-box -->\n\n  <!--\n  <div class=\"rating\">\n      <\/div>--><!-- \/.rating -->\n\n\n\n  <div class=\"buttons\">\n\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/banneroftruth.org\/us\/store\/christian-living\/salvation\/\" class=\"button learn-more\">Learn More<\/a>\n\n    \n      <a href=\"https:\/\/banneroftruth.org\/us\/store\/christian-living\/salvation\/\" class=\"button add-to-cart\">Select Options<\/a>\n\n    \n\n  <\/div><!-- \/.buttons -->\n\n  <div class=\"description\">\n    <h3 class=\"desc-title\">Description<\/h3>\n    <p>Book Description Salvation is the greatest need and the deepest longing of all human beings who have ever lived.
