Today is Tuesday, May 29, 2018. Hi, my name is Adam Burton, and you are listening to The Daily Divo, a short devotional designed to help you apply God's Word to your life. The content comes from the Gospel Project. Take a few moments and read Hebrews, chapter 11, through chapter 12, verse 2.
We do not work in order to pay God back, because our debt has been paid in full the moment we place our faith in Christ. This is what it means to be justified, trying to repay God with our works, results in legalism, and graceless religion. We place the emphasis on what we can do, not what God has done. We even work to make ourselves look good, so we might get some glory instead of God being glorified.
While every other religious system in the world is founded on get-to-work, only Christianity is founded on it is finished. Think about this. How might thinking of good works as worship shape the way you live each thing? How can we hold on to the necessity of good works as part of the Christian life without believing we have to repay God or having a self-righteous attitude?
If you are in need of prayer, please get in touch with me. I would love to pray for you. You can connect with me on social media or shoot me an email at Adam at Adam Burton.net. Oh, thank you.
