Luke 18:9-14
Once upon a time, two worshipers came to a religious service. They both sang. They both prayed. They both heard the Bible. Two came. But only one went away forgiven by the Lord. How is that possible? How can two people experience the same worship service; one leaves changed while the other unchanged? We’re not saved based on the righteous works that we do for ourselves. Rather, we’re saved by the righteousness that Jesus is for us!
