We often define morality by looking only at our actions.  When we fail to peal back our actions and look deeper into our hearts, we miss the fullest depth, beauty, and power of the gospel. Desires underly our actions.  What do you desire?  What do you WANT?

The certainty of salvation rests in the faithfulness of God's.  The assurance of salvation rests in your walk with God.  Are you sure you are saved?

There is no better explanation and inspiration of salvation than Jesus' dialogue with Nicodemus in John 3.  We all have been BITTEN and the poison of sin and death courses through every vein of our lives.  Jesus is the anti-venom!  

If discipleship is about doing certain things, it is at risk of being 'too easy'.  But when we listen to the words of Jesus Himself... is it too hard?  Too easy?  Too hard?
