What you feed - grows.
Just because something is natural or is from nature doesn't make it good.
Our nature is sinful.
We are born into it.
We have to fight against is to make our lives worth something.
What you consume, you become.
If you eat unhealthy you become unhealthy.
Phillipans 3:8-14
What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose same I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ - the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith.
I want to know Christ - yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead.
Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.
Brothers and sister, I do now consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
What am I becoming?
Nelson Mandela- "Vision without action is just a dream, action without vision just passes the time, and vision with action can change the world."
We can't "do" enough good things to get to heaven. We don't earn it.
God's grace covers all.
