That drivel It leads straight to hell! It is useful if you want to form a cult requiring adherence to the "party line"!
It reveals a profound ignorance of God's precious gift. Gifts require only a recipient, not a payment!
... God's grace does not depend on our efforts or works it totally depends upon God. (Romans 9:15-16 NIV) For he says to Moses, "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion." It does not, therefore, depend on man's desire or effort, but on God's mercy. If we are willing to allow the Holy Spirit to work in us then God does the work of changing our heart to love Him and love others, so that we can be obedient to His Word. (2 Thessalonians 3:5 NKJV) Now may the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the patience (endurance) of Christ. (Deuteronomy 30:6 NKJV) "And the LORD your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your descendants, to love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul, that you may live.
Let me rephrase that statement slightly and see if you still agree with it ...
Gifts require only a recipient, not gratitude!
