 The way I look at my relationship with God and with Jesus is I'm not trying to earn God's love by doing good things. God has already loved me for who I am before I did anything to earn and deserve it. It's a free gift by accepting Jesus and just giving your life to him. And what he did is the gift, the forgiveness is the thing that we look at him. You know, I'm going to worship you God because you gave me something so good. A lot of people think that Christianity is about doing enough good stuff to earn God's acceptance and love, but this couldn't be further from the truth. God's love is a gift. Jesus' sacrifice on the cross was a gift. As Christians, we seek to serve and obey God, not out of duty, but out of love. Follow for more.
