II Corinthians 3:18 "But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord."
As Christians, we must understand that our relationship with God is based on the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus Christ. Don't allow yourself to be trapped in a performance-oriented, defective concept of Christianity. We must recognize that God gives His grace freely to us, we don't have to "earn" anything or prove anything to Him. We must be reminded that it is not what I do for God that gets me into heaven; it is what Jesus has already done on the cross.
What we do for God, ought to be done out of a heart of love, and a desire to please Him, not gain His approval. We need to live our lives as Christians from His approval, not for His approval. What a difference this will make in your daily life.
