. I won't repeat the analogy but I really thought it was interesting to think about. We find these works and hold them up to God to show him so we can feel good about ourselves only to find that it is nothing in comparison to His perfection. That God's unconditional love takes precedent over all works is amazing. Sometimes I do things that I feel makes me a Christian, forgetting the simple fact that what I do doesn't decide my eternity. It is where I put my faith and trust. Solely leaning on Jesus' name that saved me from sin.

Unconditionally
Today I heard an analogy of when we come to God with our works and try to show it to him. I won't repeat the analogy but I really thought it was interesting to think about. We find these works and hold them up to God to show him so we can feel good about ourselves only to find that it is nothing in comparison to His perfection. That God's unconditional love takes precedent over all works is amazing. Sometimes I do things that I feel makes me a Christian, forgetting the simple fact that what I do doesn't decide my eternity. It is where I put my faith and trust. Solely leaning on Jesus' name that saved me from sin.
