How God Wants Us To Live
For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God,”God knows our imperfections better than anyone. He understands that none of us are perfect and therefore none of us can ever be exactly like Jesus. While He has made provisions, through Jesus, for our imperfections He still expects us to live an upright life to the best of our ability. The scripture is very clear that God wants us to live a life full of humility and modesty along with the willingness to serve others and clear evidence of the fruits of The Spirit in everything we do.

Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her.”
