“Try harder! You’re almost there!” These popular exhortations work well on people striving for life in an earthly kingdom. Let’s not make the mistake of bringing those charges into our heavenly kingdom. There is no TRY in Christ. There is only TRUST. Trying to love more, trying to be patient, trying to be godly. These efforts will kill you. Let’s do it Jesus’ way, and rest in His finished work. You’ll be amazed at the resulting effortless production of love, patience, and godliness!
