Many dear souls are meeting together today in Baptist churches all across the land, only to hear a sermon about how they must live and what they must do for God in order to be accepted of Him, pleasing to Him, and earn for themselves heavenly crowns and rewards. It is my great pleasure to declare unto you what great things God has done for you in Christ, to make you accepted and pleasing to Him, which makes you desire to know and do His will, not for rewards but as an expression of love, worship, and thanks-giving.
