If mortal told a adult woman it was foolish to endeavour to delight her married adult man because he already loved her, you’d likely gyre your eyes.
But I’ve heard a practiced position out of Christians tell it’s foolish to endeavour to delight God because He already loves us.
Our electrical flow Christian civilization is together with then afraid of “works salvation” that we’ve thrown the practiced out alongside the bad.
The bad: thinking practiced industrial plant salvage us. They don't. We come upwardly to the Lord based simply on His mercy.
The good: nosotros travel out our salvation (our continuing walk alongside the Lord) alongside fright together with trembling (Philippians 2:12-13) together with nosotros “find out what pleases the Lord” (Ephesians 5:10).
If a human being marries but continues to alive similar a unmarried man, he’s a bad husband.
If nosotros come upwardly to Christ but proceed to alive similar unsaved people, we’re bad Christians.
Christ says those who honey Him obey Him (John 14:23).
We cannot earn God's mercy together with grace.
But nosotros tin attempt to alive lives that are obedient together with purposeful. That’s non “works” – it’s love.
