(Rom 12:3) “ For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.” The saved stand in their faith – nothing else. No matter how long you have been saved, you add nothing to it. It has been and continues to be given to you based on Jesus’ merit – not yours.
