No matter how many good works we do, no matter how much time we serve or how much money we give to the church, if we do not have a heart that loves Jesus, it is all for not.
While God loves that you do works in His name, if you you are not truly giving Him the glory it is all in vain. God explicitly says, He will not be pacified by even the most generous offerings and zealous service if our hearts are not right with Him.
Good works will not get you into heaven, don't let anyone try to fool you into thinking that. Remember what John 14:6 has to say, "…I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me…" It is only through the power and love of Jesus Christ that we will enter heavens glory.
Don't let this message discourage you from doing good works, they are greatly appreciated…Just don't mistake them for a free pass into God's grace.
