If the REAL Jesus resided in you as your Savior you would not have to strive resty.

Amen. One of the multitude of differences. Mormons are still trying to earn their salvation, whereas the Elect in Christ rely on the work of Jesus Christ.

They strive for their god's approval, we mortify our earthly nature (Col 3:5) for we do not take credit for the sanctifying work of the Paraclete.

Indeed! The NT is replete with examples where it is God who does the work in us, not us doing it. Works try to put God in our debt - I did X therefore God you owe me Y. Doesn't work in God's economy
