Rather than pursuing a spirituality rooted in our performance and the fear of punishment (“Try hard and hopefully, if you do well enough, you can please God”), we are invited to place our faith in something completely different: God’s performance and His unfailing love.
Jesus already paid for all of our failures by dying on the cross.
This means that we experience God’s pleasure not by trying hard to please Him but by trusting in His Son.
That trust is not just for salvation.
It is a way of life, choosing to trust moment by moment in the sufficiency of Christ.
That faith decision opens the door for us to experience the presence of Christ flowing through us in a powerful way.
It frees us to obey—not because we have to or as a way to make God smile.
Instead, we have a completely different motivation.
