Works vs Faith
We Christians spend our time trying to obey the 10 Commandments and trying to do the right thing, when in actuality, we don't need to be trying to keep the law. We will go to church every time the door is open, tithe our 10 percent, we will not smoke, drink, dance, go to movies, we will look down and condemn those who do or do not do what we feel the Bible commands. We feel guilty every time we mess up and think God is going punish us if we do not do everything we know is 'right' to do as Christians. What happened to grace? What happened to being saved through faith in Christ, and Him alone. Not Jesus and baptism, not Jesus and doing this or that, not Jesus and refraining from doing certain things. No, we are saved through faith in Christ and to be quite blunt, we do not 'have' to do any of these things or do not 'have' to avoid certain things to be a child of God. We have a freedom in Christ that was bought and paid for with the death and resurrection of Jesus. Lets stop putting all the rules and regulations on others that we think will make them better people and love them with the love of Christ and let God lead them in the way He wants them to go.
