The real issue is Where are we focusing our attention?

Are we working hard to perform?

Or are we working hard to rest in Christ's performance for us?

- Tullian Tchividian

"Work our your own salvation with fear and trembling [there's hard work on our part, but what are we fighting for?]... for it is God who works in you both to will and to work for his good pleasure." -Philippians 2:13

Jesus has accomplished for us all of the things that we need to do and to be.

He was perfect, he was stainless, he was kind, he was loving, he was selfless.

He trusted, he prayed, he served, he worked, he bled, he did everything...
