Your Worthiness is not What You Do: But What God DID for YOU

Our worthiness is not what we do but what God did for mankind" reflects the idea that human value and salvation come from God's actions, not our own efforts. Two verses that summarize this are:
Ephesians 2:8-9 - "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast."
This highlights that salvation is a gift from God, not earned by human deeds.
John 3:16 - "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life."
This emphasizes God's initiative in providing worth and redemption through Jesus' sacrifice, not human merit.
Together, knowing that our worthiness stems from God’s love and grace, not our own actions, is a testament to our Faith and His Love
