What Are You Relying On?
Amos 9:11-12; Philippians 3:3-9

The ultimate question confronts each of us: "What do I rely on for my salvation?" The Judaizers relied on circumcision and law-keeping. Many today rely on church attendance, baptism, good deeds, or moral living. Paul, who had impeccable religious credentials, counted them all as rubbish compared to knowing Christ. God's plan of salvation by grace through faith was not an afterthought—even the Old Testament prophet Amos foretold that Gentiles would be included in God's family without the requirements of Jewish law. Today, conduct an honest inventory of your heart. Are you trusting in anything besides Jesus Christ alone? Religious heritage, personal goodness, or spiritual disciplines cannot save you. Only Christ can. Cast yourself completely on His mercy, and discover the peace that comes from resting in His finished work rather than your unfinished efforts.
