Think And Let Think

No one, certainly not God, is keeping score and tallying up all of our good works against our bad. There is not a divine ledger with little tallies every time we misstep or we bring about something good in the world. And there is definitely not a test by which the accumulation of our wealth will determine whether or not salvation is in fact ours. The truth is a much harder pill to swallow precisely because everything else in the world tells us the contrary. Do all you can, earn all you can, achieve all you can, save all you can, invest all you can, those are all slogans of the world. But the truth is that the game is over. Jesus did for us what we could not, and would not, do for ourselves.
