In Zechariah 3, we get a picture of Joshua - which can serve as a picture of our own salvation. Like him, we are sticks snatched from the burning fire. We were born with a sin nature (original sin) and are sinners by choice. because of our sin, we deserve to be thrown into unquenchable fire. But God has chosed to pull us from the fire. he has taken off our filthy clothes (representative of sin) and replaced them with His rich garments.
God pulled us from the fire and God gave us His rich garments - all a gift.
Take a moment and consider all that the LORD has done for you. Are you grateful? Does he know it? Does your life reflect your gratitude?
We have NO reason to boast in ourselves over our salvation. Let us worship Him with words and actions - a life given back to Him for His inexpressible grace.
