Why do so many people flail away trying to figure out how to do life? It seems like they face a problem, think a solution, apply it, step back in horror when it doesn’t solve anything. Wouldn’t it be smarter to have a relationship with the creator of all things? Get to know that one, listen to their advice and apply it. God is awesome, perfect, compassionate, loving and waiting for anyone to simply accept His free gift for having a perfect relationship with Him. Unfortunately many are so in love with themselves they don’t have room for even a perfect person. Jesus Christ paid the way be dyeing judged for our sin. Sin is anything that violates God’s perfection. They face problems, a perfect person wants to solve their problems, yet they are too smart to let this person solve them. Rather then simply believing in Christ, they choose to continue banging their heads as they try to figure it out. For by grace are you saved ( not only from your spiritual problem but from all problems ) through faith ( no longer trying to solve your problem but allow God do all the work ) and that not of yourself ( stop trying to solve your problem ) for it is a gift ( free to us ) of God ( perfect Christ being judged for imperfect me ). Not of works ( in fact you can’t do anything to earn it ) lest anyone should boast ( there’s that pride thing. Ephesians 2:8-9
