Faith alone 


“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it? “I the Lord search the heart and test the mind, to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his deeds.”” ‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭17:9-10‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“”Seek the Lord while he may be found; call upon him while he is near; let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the Lord, that he may have compassion on him, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭55:6-9‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.”” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭1:17‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.”‭‭ Ephesians‬ ‭2:8-9‬ ‭ESV

“There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:1‬ ‭ESV 

Without Him, I can never measure up. I must put my faith in Christ alone, and trust only in his work.
