Salvation is wholly of God by grace on the basis of the redemption of Jesus Christ, the merit of His shed blood and not on the basis of ANY human merit or works. The unmerited favour of God grants to totally depraved sinners like me is not related to any of my own initiative of my own part, nor to God's anticipation of what I may do by my own will, but is solely of His sovereign grace and mercy.
Ephesians 1:4-7 (ESV)
4 even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love 5 he predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, 6 to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved. 7In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses,according to the riches of his grace,

& today i thank God for my salvation, for the assurance of His providence every single day :)
