Self-salvation

"For you shall be like an oak whose leaf withers, a and like a garden without water.
And the strong shall become tinder, and his work a spark,
And both of them shall burn together,
With none to quench them."
-- Isaiah 1:30-31

We cannot save ourselves. We are not in control. We are not rulers over death and life. We are not miracle workers. We are not able to create human beings and beasts of the land and the sea. We are not strong enough to carry the weight of the world. We cannot nail sin to the cross. We are nothing.

Without Christ.

Self salvation equals self destruction. The people who choose to be oaks without God's water will burn with none to quench them.
