We can only do the will of God,
because we have eternal life. If the church would preach the true Good News, then folks would believe and walk it out.
But because they have been taught that they have to "do the will of God" to GET eternal life, they don't believe they can ever do enough, therefore they are in a vicious cycle of performance AND FAILURE, WHICH PRODUCES CONDEMNATION. Never able to attain what the church SAYS is a free gift.
YOU CANNOT DO THE WILL OF GOD, UNTIL YOU FULLY ACCEPT THAT YOU ARE THE RIGHTEOUS OF GOD. AND THAT MY FRIEND IS ONLY POSSIBLE BY EXCEPTING THE FINISH WORK OF CHRIST, AS ENOUGH, PERIOD!!
ALL OTHER EFFORTS ARE WILLPOWER AND FIFTHLY RAGS.
