The salvation that God is accomplishing in His people is to them unnerving, knee-knocking, terrible work. But it is the work of their freedom, of the death of all that binds and hinders them. It is the work of God.
The greatest gift of the Lord Jesus is love. Love is about action; how a person lives in obedience to the Lord and puts others before himself. Love creates the appropriate atmosphere for service and legitimizes it in the eyes of the church and the world!
