Romans 4:2-3 For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God. For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness.”
Everyone has specific gifts, specific tasks to perform. I have created you for certain things. Just learn to stay close to me and listen to me, and you will know what I have for you. Salvation comes by My grace, because of your faith in me. It has nothing to do with what you do or do not do. Yes, I want you to take better care of yourself. But, you will not lose my love or your salvation if you don’t do it. You will not enjoy as close a relationship with me as you could, but I will not leave you, will not forsake you, will not punish you. I love you. That will not change. You have my presence in your life purely by your faith in me. Nothing else. You can’t earn it other than by virtue of your faith. (2005)
