My dear one,
If there is anything currently in your schedule solely because you think it will make Jesus love you more or get you into heaven, please drop it now.
Yes, God calls us to do things, and when He does, we must respond in obedience out of our love for Him. But He doesn’t ask us to do these things to earn our salvation or His love.
He has loved you since the beginning of time and nothing you DO {or don’t do} will make Him love you more.
Grace is not given as payment for our work. It is a gift we receive when we commit our lives to Him.
The way to heaven is not paved with works, but with faith.
Please, sweet friend, stop trying to earn your salvation and rest in your relationship with Him.
He has done the work and paid the price for all of us.
Totally agree!!! Good post!
Thank you for this. ♥ Have been struggling with it quite a bit lately…
