Coming to terms with my nature is not easy. Your whole life is spent in perpetual blindness. You think you have this life worked out with church and good works when all along it is nothing but filthy rags. When will we see that our nature is against the Father and Jesus is the answer. You think this would be a thought for the lost. In turn it is for us the generation of works and religion.
God expels the tradition of man. It is a contradiction of His word. However, we are still the ones who try and play the game instead of living the life.
Philippians 2:13 Paul say that we are to work out our salvation in fear and trembling. We are so prideful in thinking that it is us who secures our eternal gift. I guess we missed the fear and trembling part. No work or good deed gets us heaven only Jesus. Our work, deeds, love, everything is a reversal of human nature when it comes to God. We don't obey to earn His love, we obey because of His love. Everything we do should be a thanksgiving because of the gift given. We don't work to earn the wage of God. He gives it freely! That is why we live for Him. That is the cause of our change.
See our life doesn't become deeds and works for salvation. Our life becomes worship because of His salvation. The terms of human nature is backwards from the nature of God. Nothing we can do or say can change anything absent of the Holy Spirit of God moving.
No matter how prideful one may be God is the mover we are just the hand carts!
