The Lord Jesus rejects that faith which does not center in him only and rest the heart entirely on him! He welcomes no partner and will admit none. He would not be worthy of the name of Saviour if salvation were not wholly from him. Hear what he says of himself, "I have trodden the winepress alone: I looked and there was none to help: therefore mine own arm brought salvation" (Isa. 3:3,5). Again, "Behold! the Lord God will come with a strong hand, and his arm shall rule; He shall feed his flock like a shepherd, he shall gather the lambs with his arm; and he shall carry them in his bosom" (Isa. 40:10,11).
"All that I was, my sin, my guilt,
My death, was all my own;
All that I am, I owe to Christ,
My gracious God, alone."
Henry Mahan
