Obviously we don’t get into the Kingdom of Heaven simply by doing good works, or do we? We rightly claim that salvation is by God’s grace and mercy, but then we look down on those who stray into legalism, as we call it, by trying to do what the Bible says. Somewhere there’s a balance between saying we’re saved and not living like it, and living like we’re save, but having no peace. Maybe we find that balance by learning who we are, and Whose we are.
Exodus 18:1-20:26; Isaiah 6:1-7:5, 9:6-7; Jeremiah 31:31-34; Mark 10:17-22; 1 Peter 2:9; Revelation 1:1-6
