Subservience. We must choose to let God take command of our lives and be Lord over us. God does not control us - but we choose to follow His leadership and direction.
So you don't agree with Ephesians 2:8 ?
"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:"

For by grace are ye saved through faith...I never understood that. Does it mean that Jesus died for our sins and therefore we will not be held accountable for our faults and misdeeds; i.e., He already paid the price for us?
I was taught from the age of six that I am responsible if I break the laws of God and the laws of my church.

How do you arrive at that? Of course I believe I am saved by grace. What do you think motivates me to make Him my Lord and follow His direction in my life?
