Do you ever feel like you're required to try harder to be good?

A friend of Nancy DeMoss Walgamuth feels that way?

I received an email from a woman recently who expressed a struggle that I think you'll agree is common to our fallen human condition.

Here's what she said.

I've gone through many battles trying to be good enough,

trying to earn God's grace and walking on eggshells,

thinking God was going to throw me overboard if I did something wrong.

How many of you would be honest enough to say

you have experienced something of that same battle in your own life?

Let me see some hands.

Quite a few in this room. Learn to find relief from that battle here on the Reviver Hearts

podcast with Nancy DeMoss Walgamuth, author of Incomparable. For March 18th, 24, I'm Dana Gresh.

With Easter, less than two weeks away, we're in the middle of a series called Incomparable.

Here's Nancy.

You know, most world religions attempt to deal with issues of sin, guilt, alienation from God by telling us what we must do for God in order to earn his favor.

Christianity, on the other hand, and uniquely Christianity, deals with those issues by telling us what God has done for us,

to provide forgiveness for our sins and to make it possible for sinful humans to be

reconciled to himself. God's answer and the only answer for our failure and sin and guilt

is not in trying harder, but it's found in the atoning work of Christ on the cross.

And this session on the atoning work of Christ is where everything else that we've seen

thus far about the Lord Jesus over the past several weeks comes together.

This is where it all culminates.
