That's human nature, and reflective of an unrepentant heart. Which is the loving spouse who wants a relationship?But I don't think that at all...I am pointing out it is the constant that we hear over and over again on message boards. Whether true or not, it makes it seem main focus is the hereafter. There is very little about redemption, salvation (not "saved") justification/sanctification, and discerning the will of the Father in one's daily life here on earth and doing that will (i.e., "works") and "works" seem to be regarded as some sort of profanity rather than duty and service to God as befits unprofitable servants of God.
1. The woman who approaches her husband on their wedding day and demands a list of duties that are the bare minimum required for him to allow her to live with him, duties that she will spend the rest of her life trying to avoid, ignore, re-interpret, or otherwise violate, but demand to be allowed to stay?
2. The woman who spends her entire life watching her husband to learn what he likes so she can be and provide it for him?
A repentant person will serve God and do good works out of a redeemed heart that knows he is already accepted by God and made holy, not because anyone is telling him he has to do a set of things before God will accept him.
