I worked and worked and worked to simply be able to HOPE that it was enough. Because I focused on MY works or discipleship, I was never even sure if I was really going to make it.
Problem: It is NEVER enough! You can live that way if you choose to. I choose not to. I used to and did not have the true joy of the Lord. Not so now! I rejoice in the righteousness of God!  |
So basically you traded truth for a lie and self satisfaction because you just "didn't" feel it. Well in the end you basically just ascribed to a form of lawless judgment system which is not biblical. Congrats... I imagine you feed many a itchng ear.
Rev 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
oh and by the way Abraham's promise was realized on a "works/obedience/law" paradigm which I clearly showed in a previous post. Trust is judged unto life or death. If you don't agree with that then you are clearly lawless in your understanding of faith.
