There's something that we'll learn in today's lesson that is SO important for us to grasp. We need to know this as believers. That there's NOTHING we can do to EARN our salvation. What we do and don't do...will not make us more or less righteous than our neighbor. You can't tithe enough, go to church enough, or volunteer enough. The ONLY way you can be saved and made righteous...is through the shed blood of Jesus. Then, as recipients of His free gift of salvation, we're made into NEW creations. He cleanses our hearts. Now, as we're empowered by His grace, we will DESIRE to DO what is right. We'll be able to have victory over sin.
