The eight results of salvation identified in the reading are life changing. I cannot dredge up enough energy or work myself into a lifestyle of joy, love, patience, kindness, inner peace, or hope without access to our Father’s overwhelming love. I may be able to fake these qualities for a short time with self effort, but the more I realize what Jesus has done on the cross and through His resurrection, I’m in awe of Him, and He overcomes my weakness and frailty. Instead of trying to do better, He takes over as I surrender to Him.
