Unlike a job, with God we aren't performance based

In reading my morning devotion that was based on Exodus 20, the Ten Commandments, I started to think about how even though God gave us these 10 clear instructions on how to live, what is right and what is wrong, we are still not judged by how well we keep them. Unlike our jobs where we may have goals for bonuses, goals just to get to the next level, or just goals that we want to do in order to get ahead personally, the Ten Commandments are not like that. It is only through faith in Jesus Christ that we can attain our eternal life. Nothing we do can get us there.

Does this mean we should not strive to keep the Ten Commandments? Absolutely not. As a matter of fact, we should be working harder to keep them, then we work at attaining our earthly goals. Just imaging if we all took as much time and effort to keeping them as we do in go after those goals that are set for us at work. Wouldn't this world be a much better place?

God Bless your work week.
