"You can be secure in Jesus. You don't have to wonder if you are good enough or if you can maintain a certain amount of works. "

Read BONDAGE OF THE WILL by Martin Luther..(xviii)Of the comfort of knowing that salvation does not depend on free-will.
"If I lived and worked to all eternity my consience would never reach comfortable certainty as to how much it must do to satisfy God. What ever work I had done, there would still be a nagging doubt as to whether it pleased God, or whether He required something more."
