God is still an infinite, just, and holy God and it is in His love and grace that He gives us eternal life.
We do not go to church to earn God's favor because God in being infinite can not be appeased and is not impressed with anything that I as a finite man can do. Church is a place of fellowship and to come and express worship to God. And the reason we strive, and are not perfect, to live righteous lives is because God tells us to be holy as He is holy.
Christ came and personally did for each of us. That is why we try not to do the very things for which he died to set us free of.
its just so sad that every religious person thinks his religion is the right one. You should see muslims how they fast and offer prayers with such dedication and are sure of god's blessings. If we accept that god do exists then will god torture people for their mere confusions?? he should be real cruel then!
Eskimo: "If I did not know about God and sin, would I go to hell?" Priest: "No, not if you did not know." Eskimo: "Then why did you tell me?"
