a tale of two believers

One believer embraces religion as proof of his superiority. Because his faith is based on fear and uncertainty, he testifies to his own inerrant righteousness, and lives his faith to justify and glorify himself. He wants to praise God by doing Him favors.

Another believer embraces Christ as proof of God's word. Because his faith is based on love and the resurrection, he testifies to Christ's righteousness, and lives his faith to honor and glorify God. He wants to praise God by being His slave.
