Christianity is not submitting one day a week to listen to seemingly scholarly ministers who attempt to teach the Bible,
yet leave you unchanged and unchallenged in your faith.
Christianity is believing by faith the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross. This is the foundation of God's grace,
that He loves us so much that He purchased our freedom with the blood of His Son and forgave our sins, which were many.
Everything that results from that for our benefit in our lives is an act of God's grace.
We have misunderstood,  if we try to do "works" for Him as if we need to do something in response to the gift of grace to earn it. 
Grace is a gift, to be received with gratitude in our hearts and to begin to walk in obedience to our Father who has saved us and
called us to Himself. That is what pleases Him. Self-righteousness is an effort to achieve grace in our own deeds.
You will never understand the mystery of the Gospel of Jesus Christ if you refuse to believe.
You will live your life without coming to your senses to realize the inheritance that belongs to you through adoption.
When you become God's child, what He has belongs to you. His Spirit is poured into you for the purpose of becoming like Him.
The effort to become like Him also becomes your responsiblity, by seeking Him and reading His word that has the power to transform you into his image.
God is so great, who would not like to become like Him? We do need a lot of endurance, because it does take some time.
He is worth every moment!!
 Hebrews11:6  And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for those who come to God must believe that He is, and
that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
