Some of us get it twisted. We get it wrong in thinking that heaven is the reward for our righteousness. Because we've obeyed the Ten Commandments. Because we showed up every Sunday and every Wednesday. We did the religious things well. Did you do the relationship things well? Because that's what really matters. [00:38:15] (32 seconds)  #RelationshipOverRitual

It's not a reward. That's where we get it wrong. It's not a reward for our righteousness. It is a gift. It is a gift for the guilty. And every single one of us is guilty. For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. [00:40:32] (21 seconds)  #GraceNotReward

``How could you lose what you could never earn? And if we could lose it? If you could lose it, every single one of us would. None of us would be good enough. No, not one. [00:47:50] (19 seconds)  #SalvationIsNotEarned

None of us can abide by every single law. But every one of us can submit to Jesus' authority and be in a right relationship with him. Because he is the only one. [00:48:33] (18 seconds)  #SubmitToJesusAuthority

We can't be ashamed of Jesus Christ who died for us, for our sin. We've got to be ready and willing to speak with boldness and speak in love. Not trying to beat people down and make them feel bad for where they're at, but to lift them up and love them and care for them because that's what Jesus did for us. [00:50:54] (28 seconds)  #BoldLoveNotJudgment

You can have the assurance of your salvation, the assurance that you're going to heaven by seeking a right relationship with Jesus Christ. Not because you can be good enough. Not because you can walk a straight enough line to make the mark now that you've invited him in. No. It's a gift for the guilty and we're all guilty. [00:53:16] (28 seconds)  #AssuranceThroughRelationship
