Salvation is easy for us, because it cost God so much. But the exhibiting of salvation in my life is difficult. God saves a person, fills him with the Holy Spirit, and then says in effect “Now you work it out in your life, and be faithful to Me, even though the nature of everything around you is to cause you to be unfaithful.”….. Remain faithful to your Savior and Friend, and remember that His honor is at stake in your bodily life. Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest, June 16. Do not be like Pharisees who multiplied regulations, creating their own form of “godliness.” They got so wrapped up in their own rules that they lost sight of Me. Even today, man-made rules about how to live the Christian life enslave many people. Their focus is on their performance, rather than on Me. It is through knowing Me that you become like Me. This requires spending time alone with Me. Sarah Young’s Jesus Calling.
