No amount of good deeds, wealth, or human effort can secure salvation. It is purely God’s gift, received when we surrender self-reliance and place our trust fully in God's grace. True peace does not come from possessions or power, but from knowing that God is our ultimate security. It is only when we embrace our weakness and cling to God's strength that we can find genuine freedom and the peace that surpasses all understanding.

Reflection Question: Where in my life am I still clinging to my own strength, possessions, or control; and how can I let God be my true security?
