What is even sadder is that more and more believe in a false way to be saved. In our text. Paul speaks of a salvation that is based on the false. E. Salvation Is Not A Human Achievement. In verse 8, in 5 words we are told that man does not have the ability to save himself.
Man is able to do some amazing things.
His achievements in the field of medicine, science, and technology are amazing. Man can send a spacecraft to Mars and create a little remote control buggy that goes around picking up rocks, analyze them and then send the data back to earth. He can create a satellite that from 450 miles out in space can take pictures of a human being on earth that looks like what we took with a camera standing less than 20 feet away. But there is one thing that man cannot do and will never be able to do, and that is achieve his own salvation. Not By Human Accomplishments.
