Even though we can’t do enough to
            gain salvation, since it is God’s gift to us,
            He does expect us to do what is right and
            good in His sight.

                “For we are God’s masterpiece.
                He has created us anew in Christ
                Jesus,  so  we  can  do  the  good
                things  he  planned  for  us  long
                ago.” Ephesians 2:10 NLT
                Many  people  will  recognize  this
            verse  as  the  ‘golden  rule.’  Jesus  said,
            “So in everything, do to others what you
            would  have  them  do  to  you”  Matthew
            7:12.  Paul  taught,  “Let  no  debt  remain
            outstanding, except  the  continuing  debt
            to  love  one  another,  for  whoever  loves
            others  has  fulfilled  the  law,”  Romans
            13:8.
                Jesus  said  if  we  love  Him,  we  will
            obey what He commands. What did He
            command?  “My  command  is  this:  Love
            each  other  as  I  have  loved  you”  John
            15:12.  To  be  sure  we  got  it,  Jesus
