It was not my intention to leave the impression that living a"Holy life"was of no heavenly value.
I believe we too often place the "cart before the
horse." Jesus said "thou shalt love the Lord thy
God with all thy heart, with all thy soul, with all thy mind,and with all thy strength"mk.12:30.
We "do good," because we love Him, and thereby are
empowered by Him, to do those those things that He
desires. Jesus said"without Me ye can do nothing"
jn.15:5."For it is God which WORKETH in you, both
to will, and to do of HIS GOOD PLEASURE"phil.2:13.
