[The Lord] saw that there was no one, he was appalled that there was no one to intervene; so his own arm worked salvation for him, and his own righteousness sustained him. Isaiah 59.16

Salvation is God reaching down to us, not the other way around. Salvation is not us reaching to God or aspiring after God, but is God reaching down to us, pure and simple. Salvation is the work of the arm of the Lord, not the arm of man. There is no greater point of the gospel than this; nothing that more clearly distinguishes the religion of God from the religion of man. Beginning with Cain’s sacrifice and on through the Tower of Babel, the self-righteousness of the Pharisees, and the legalism of Galatia’s church, Man has shown his unwillingness to acknowledge his utter inability to help himself and trust his soul’s case to the work of God alone.

And this wicked principle is by no means dead in the thoughts of believers. This is why we always preach the simple gospel to believers as well as unbelievers. Those of us who have been saved by the long and strong arm of the Lord still struggle with the flesh and its prideful insistence on the ability to do some good thing God can accept. But, according to the word of Paul, we come in this world with nothing good in us, and we remain that way. There is nothing that has arisen in the heart of a man or woman that God can accept or find pleasure in. The only good thing that God has ever found in a man is that which God, Himself, put there. Does a man have faith? It is the gift of God. Does a man love God? That love was born of God’s love for him. As one song writer put it, “The only good thing in me is Him.”
