" You in your mercy have led forth the people which you have regained: you have guided them in your strength into your holy habitation" (Exodus 15:13).
There are several things said in this verse:
Six times the program file or thy issues, which we have translated into the words" you" or " your," signifying that salvation, and everything that pertains to that world, is found totally in God and not at all in man.
As the Holy Spirit gave this song to Moses, and the Holy Spirit was most definitely the author, he emphasized the fact that the Lord had done all of this.
This means that man could not receive any credit simply because man was not due any credit.
What I am speaking of here is probably the greatest bone of contention between God and man that one could name.
God gives his way, and man attempt to change it to something else.
God has one way for the sinner to be saved, and that is by simple faith and trust in Christ and what Christ has done for us at the cross (John 3:16).
He also has one way of sanctification, and that is by simple faith and trust in Christ and what Christ has done for set the Cross (Romans 6:3 – 14; 8:1 – 11; first Corinthians 1:17 – 18, 21, 23; 2:2, 5; Ephesians 2:13 – 18; Colossians 2:10 – 15).
Regrettably, most in the world try to change God's way of salvation, and sadder still, most Christians attempt to change his way of sanctification.
Both parties, the unredeemed (lost) and the redeemed (saved), revert to" works."
It is ironic that the redeemed will shake their head sadly at the world and plainly tell them that they cannot earn their salvation, which is certainly correct, but then they turn right around and try to earn their sanctification by the same ways they have told the world it cannot be done!
