Grt Gos God's part is to provide the power to keep us and strengthen us to the appointed time. Our part is to have faith in Him that He will bring to completion what he's started.

I believe they come together because one naturally leads to the o5her. Jesus obeyed till death, which is something not natural to any human being I'd say. At the gate of death, many of us confessions and beliefs may change but He obeyed till death. Through the sprinkling of the blood whereby we received forgiveness, we were also given power to obey. The blood shed carries and carried the ability to make us bold unto obedience and love for the one who carried the Cross of our sins. Without His blood, I don't think it'd have possible. It's deceptive to think that way because salvation is a package that comes from giving your life to Jesus Christ. Everything included in the package becomes yours when you take that step. We are saved unto belief and obedience. Salvation therefore comes before obedience. Any work that was done before his death was a dead work because we did not even qualify. So none of our works could have said us except So grace was all we had and all we needed. But after Salvador Salvation through grace, we've now been welcomed to good works through faith which He himself had predestined us for. (Sorry. Some of the words seem not to be able to delete and I don't know why. That's why there's a couple of typing mistakes in the text

The behavior of a Christian who identifies more with his present homeland than his heavenly one is one that lives worrying and thinking only about earthly things, who is not mature enough and still growing in the Lord. Such people or person I believe is often more concerned about what happens to him, how he can make it in this world. It's often more about him and not about the Lord. I have been caught doing this several times. In diverse ways, how I'd think, the decisions I'd make or even how I'd react to problems, disappointments, failures and all the more. We just need to know first of all that we there are priorities, then give our heart to knowing them and understanding them. From there we would decide whether we want to live by them or not. And if yes,we would give ourselves wholly to living by them with the help of the Holy Spirit through the consistent and daily studying of the Word and prayer so that our minds be aligned and transformed and renewed daily unto our priorities.
