It isn't all that greasy

The things going on in study and meditation these days revolve around the conditionality of God's love and his promises. His love, despite what we may have heard, isn't unconditional. In fact, the price paid for it is unimaginable. God really didn't simply sweep sin under the rug - His justice demanded and exacted a terrible penalty.

Obedience isn't an additional price added to what was accomplished on the cross. Obedience is humility - even to death. Obedience is an acknowledgement that God is worthy and just and letting that reality inform every action. His worthiness didn't change at Calvary. He is as holy as ever. Why, then, do I refuse to be humbled?
