When we accept that our value is not dependent on what we do or accomplish, we are ironically liberated to do much for Christ. Not “much” in the ways for which we’ve striven up to this point, but “much” in terms of fulfilling the two greatest commandments: loving God and loving others (Matt. 22:34–40). It makes sense, doesn’t it? How can we possibly love God or love others from a pure heart while we’re chasing after frivolities to confirm our value?
