[Markofhumanfeet]

one last thought before I head up the mountains to the snow: I think you might be surprised to learn, that for a mature Christian, the cause of all motivation, is love of Christ. There is no fear, nor doing "good" in hopes of reward. The new life, is just that-- a new way of living. It's the way it is, a new reality. I think it's something that an unregenerated man cannot understand and so you get all hung up on the idea that you too can be a good and moral person, but you can't. Sorry, thanks, Mark

Josh 1:8
8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

Jesus did this for us, and in this age of Grace that we now live we can only rejoice with love in what He accomplished in His sinless, resurrected life. We are justified not in our ability to live according to the law, but in accepting Jesus' life as our own. We live in Him.

Mark, thank you for the continued stand for the truth that you take.

Jer 1:8
8 Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD.
