Make It Complete

(Pro 4:20 KJV)  My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.

I have been listening to some apologists on the internet.  For the most part they are a needed voice.  Each is different and has a different approach but they serve a purpose.  One point that I keep hearing is that we are saved by grace, not works.  That is true.  It is also incomplete.  All through the Bible from Genesis to Revelation you also have an emphasis like you find in this verse.  It is important that we make choices that take us in the right direction.  

God did not send Jesus to earth so He could send more people to Hell.  He also did not send Him to encourage perverted living.  God sent Jesus to pay the price.  We are called to respond in faith but also in obedience.  

So?  Pay attention.  Don’t rest on your laurels or the laurels of Jesus.  Trust but act.  The key point is not what role obedience plays but that you be obedient.
