Today's Scripture Jigsaw

Hold to your resolutions but do not make them things by which you are saved. You prescribe to a particular translation of the Scripture? That is good; read it day and night. You only sing the old hymns; they are edifying indeed. You wear only simple clothing; may they last a long time. You do not smoke or drink? God bless you. But do not hold these works over another conscience as though they are acts that save. There is one act that saves, one alone: the crucified Christ. Trust in his work and you are saved. Trust in your own and you are already lost.
