Who would not want the favor of God? There is a difference in trying to earn God’s favor and realizing that you already have it and simply want to please Him. Imagine the difference in a child trying to bribe a parent by being good, and a child being good because they have adopted their parents values. Don’t sully a good thing with bad motives.
“He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit,” Titus 3.5 Conversations Within” ts 1/24/2019
Just me trying to be honest with God.
