You can't make yourself saved. This is very threatening to people, even Christians, because of what it seems to say about freedom.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Much as you would like, you are not going to change people who feel it's part of their religious commitment to 'save' you.
Only through repentance and faith in Christ can anyone be saved. No religious activity will be sufficient, only true faith in Jesus Christ alone.
I cannot save the world; that's not what I'm trying to do. I guess I'm just trying to walk the walk and be an example to those that want it. Not everybody does, but if Mary J. Blige can come out of that same hole you were in, then you can do it, too - that's my goal: to do that without saying it, but actually live it.
I don't save people. God saves people. I can point them in the right direction. I can say, 'There's that door. I think if you walked through it, you'd be happier than you are.'
You can't save anybody.
No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.
Sometimes there are things worth risking your life for. It was Jesus who said if you want to save your life, you have to lose it.
Has Jesus saved me? I dare not speak with any hesitation here; I know He has. His Word is true; therefore, I am saved.
Remove grace, and you have nothing whereby to be saved. Remove free will and you have nothing that could be saved.
No one can be saved - in virtue of what he can do. Everyone can be saved - in virtue of what God can do.
