We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

No man who is full of himself can ever truly preach the Christ who emptied Himself.
J. Sidlow Baxter

Our relationship with God is based entirely on grace. If we needed to merit all our blessings, God would simply be giving us what we are owed. In a sense, we would not be debtors to Him, but rather He would be a debtor to us. However, we must not jettison other biblical principles that say Christians can forfeit or add to their blessings based upon the spiritual fruit that He produces in our lives. The Bible teaches this very principle regarding “sowing and reaping” and eternal rewards.
