I ASKED a dear little girl why she wanted to do what is right. She replied, “Because I love Jesus.”
Many people are trying to do right because they think that is the way they can get to heaven.
But they are making a great mistake. Jesus has done the work on the cross.
There is nothing left for the sinner to do. He has only to believe in Christ and His finished work. His own works can never save him.
After we know Jesus is our Saviour, it will be our delight to serve Him and to please Him by doing what is right and good. Like little Ruth we will want to do good because we love Him.
