It still seems I
should 'do' something
The problem is that as soon as you begin to come up with a reasonable
and godly definition of what that something might be, that's when
you begin to realize the 'real' problem. We always fall so far short
of that something good---remember the analogy about swimming to
Hawaii?
The point is not that getting to Heaven by means
of a gift is too easy. The point is that earning our way
is absolutely impossible. We all fall so far short of the requirements
of a holy, a perfect, and a just God, that we stand condemned before
Him because of our performance. We just can't get there from here
that way. There has to be a totally different solution.
