Why do we try so hard to earn our way before God? \u00a0Do we think we can perform in such a way that it will make us right before God? \u00a0 This type of thinking\/life replaces the work of Christ and dilutes faith to keeping a ledger of the good and bad that we do and serves no purpose before the eyes of God. We can never do enough good to replace Grace. \u00a0Jesus said I am the way the truth and the life, no man comes to God but through me. \u00a0Choose to humbly confess sin and by faith know it is forgiven rather than trying to replace it with a ledger of good\/bad.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThose who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. Go and learn what this means, \u2018I desire mercy, and not sacrifice<\/strong>. \u2019 For I came not to call the righteous, but sinners<\/p>\n
\nFor I desire steadfast love and not sacrifice<\/strong>,
\nthe knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings<\/p>\n
\n\u201cHas the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices<\/strong>,
\nas in obeying the voice of the Lord?
\nBehold, to obey is better than sacrifice,
\nand to listen than the fat of rams<\/p>\n
\nGuard your steps when you go to the house of God. To draw near to listen is better than to offer the sacrifice of fools,<\/strong> for they do not know that they are doing evil<\/p>\n
\nlearn to do good;
\nseek justice,
\ncorrect oppression;
\nbring justice to the fatherless,
\nplead the widow’s cause<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
