It's like Satan was at the bottom of the ocean saying, "Come on down here, it's fun. The water's fine." And you listened and started swimming down and inhaling water the whole time, and Jesus grabbed a hold of you and pulled you up out if the ocean and got the water out of your lungs and slapped you across the face. You say, "Well...thanks, Jesus", and then go tell everyone what a great swimmer you are. See how self-righteous we are? God saves us and does so many good things and we take the credit for what we do good.
