The Lord told me once, “Steve, when Christians stop living like they're earning something, and start living like they've received something, they can change the world.” We have been taught to earn our love, our wages, our blessings, and even our grades from God. Yet the person who lives in right relationship with God does it by embracing what God has done for him rather than what he’s done for God. Doing things FOR God to earn points or favors is the opposite of entering into what God has done FOR you. The person who walks closely with God simply believes he has been set right BY GOD – not by his own moral efforts
