Two things that we must be very careful not to neglect. The Holiness of God, and the Gospel of Jesus. They are tightly bound together. If we concentrate on the one at the expense of the other, we fall into legalism or self worship. Either we get a list from God (The Law) and try to work things out in our own strength, (Will Power Religion) or we take God’s list lightly and use the gospel as a means to license and self worship (The Carnal Christian). We think of God as a doting, kind grandfather who will tolerate our sin, or some kind of cosmic sugar daddy who we can persuade into giving us what we really want (The Good Life) by being good religious people. God desires a holy people and those people can only be made that way but trusting in what Jesus has done (The Gospel). My final advice for myself and for those reading this post is this. Never ever forget that God is Holy, and never ever forget that the Gospel of Jesus is the only means to be reconciled to God.
