“[We seem to ask] 'Can I go to heaven without truly and faithfully loving Jesus?”
“I wonder, then, why the last thing Jesus told us was to go into the world, making disciples of all nations, teaching them to obey all that He commanded? You'll notice that he didn't add, 'But, hey, if that's too much to ask, tell them to just become Christians- you know, the people who get to go to heaven without having to commit to anything'.”
“Jesus asks for everything, but we try to give Him less.”
“...our concern is more about going to heaven than loving the King.”
“When we work for Christ out of obligation, it feels like work. But when we truly love Christ, our work is a manifestation of that love, and it feels like love.”
“I believe He wants us to love others so much that we go to extremes to help them.”
“In the midst of our failed attempts at loving Jesus, His grace covers us.”
