Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do
what it says.James 1:22
Our relationship with the Lord should never be passive. We do not only take from Him, we must rejoice in Him, celebrate Him, and live His word in daily life, every day.
And this means works, good ones to be exact! Work the Christian 12 steps well and you will serve the Lord in thought and deed and you will feel His reward. You will feel His reward in this life through peace and happiness and through an end to the pains of addiction, and you will live the glory of the Lord in heaven with everlasting life.
The Lord gives us so much, and our part of the bargain is simply faith, humility and service in the name of the Lord. Not much to ask.
Live for Christ, be happy, and live forever with Him…pretty good deal!
