No worries fren. I know there are differing views about all of that. I also know our tendencies as believers is to believe we are not doing enough or not deserving of what Jesus has done for us. I believe we sabbotage ourselves or perhaps it is the enemy wiggling his way into our hearts by thinking that way. Those thoughts Rob Jesus of His power, not literally but in our minds and hearts, when we think we have anything to do with saving ourselves other than accepting and believing in Him. It is solely by His grace we are saved. He does all the work. Not us. As we draw closer to God His will becomes ours. His yoke is easy and His burden is light fren. God is not a micro manager so to speak. Faith not works. Remember the thief on the cross. Numbers 6:24-26
