if Jesus’ death did not save the believer, then he died in vain as NO ONE can earn their salvation. All our righteous is as filthy rags before the LORD. How can you ever know if you have done enough or is there still more that needs to be done.
When my mom was on her death bead she cried out to her preachers..”I'm afraid I haven't done enough!”
I wanted to yell, “It's not what you have done, It is what CHRIST has done for you!”
Standing on the promises of God!
I’m doomed if salvation is based on what I’ve done. I’m definitely a lawbreaker. I want to rely on grace. The logical, rational me would far rather be accepted based on the love, mercy, and grace of our God, than to wait for a sentence on the bad. I know there was bad. I don’t even want to risk the good outweighing the bad. Who knows how many are hurt by even one sin? The permutations are exponential. How much would that bad weigh? Nope. I want the pardon.
