Through the many ribbons on her wall my daughter boasts of her swimming victories. Her hard work in practice paid dividends in the meets. But can she boast before God of her hard work for eternal life? No. For only through faith, not works, does Jesus declare righteous the swimmer. Where is the boasting then? for you, it is excluded. By what principle. Of works? No, but by the principle of faith. As you swim through this day’s events, let me, Dr. Jay Quine ask you to remember this word. Let go of YOUR works and place your faith in the works of Jesus. He stroke is strong, and only through him will you be safely carried to the other side. Boast in Christ alone.
