The Gospel is Foolishness to those Who are Perishing…But
I Corinthians 1:18
“For the preaching of the cross (that death, burial, and resurrection) is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved (Here it comes now…) it is the (What?) power of God.”
That’s why good works will never save anyone. Our good works are nothing but filthy rags in the eyes of God. Joining a church does not involve the power of God. Being baptized does not invoke the power of God. This is something that God does the moment He sees our faith. And that’s a heart thing only God can see and only God can change.
Religion is Behavior Modification – Christianity is Heart Transformation
