to be good. If we can keep a list of good behaviors, we no longer feel ashamed before God. “Look what we’ve done.” There is something within all of us that truly believes we can earn God’s favor with our good behaviors. Unfortunately this something doesn’t die when we become Christians. In fact, it pulls at us with just as much force as ever before. Although we know we are saved by grace, a part of us still believes that by doing good things, God will like us more. We believe we can fix our brokenness.
