There was a father who had two sons. The oldest son served his father imagining the great inheritance that would someday be his, for his father was very wealthy. The youngest son served his father, simply because he loved his father, and never dreamed of what he might or might not inherit. If the father knew the hearts of the two sons, who would he be more willing to bless? So many of us Christians today are serving God, so that we will go to Heaven, or to get one step further from hell. We appear to the rest of the world as confused hypocrits, We serve God because we want something from Him. Do you agree we need to start serving God, out of love simply for who and what God is? God has already saved us through the sacrifice of Christ, so stop the trying to "make it on your own" stuff! We are saved by grace---which means "undeserved favor" if it is undeserved you cannot deserve or earn it, it is done for you. Who wants to love God and not just His rewards?
