U
I so enjoyed this analogy Joanie.
I can totally relate to paying bills on time and how anxiety provoking that can be even with online banking.
That feeling is not how we should relate to God and really it does not please Him, He is our Heavenly Father who loves us dearly that He Himself who had no blame became the scapegoat for all humanity.
He wants us to relate to Him in a love relationship of freely giving and receiving as only love can because He first loved us.

Amen! The word "believe" in Romans 10:4 goes beyond mere "mental assent" belief in the existence and historical facts about Christ. We must believe/entrust our spiritual well being to Christ; have faith/reliance upon Christ for salvation. Unfortunately, many people merely believe "mental assent" in the existence and historical facts about Christ, yet their trust and reliance is in works for salvation, instead of in Christ alone.
Yes., sort of reminds me of the fear that responsible people have about always paying their bills on time., and never missing a payment. They can know if they always pay their bill on time., they can't get in any trouble. They know they have done all they have to do and so they don't worry.......
(unless something happens and they can't pay their bill).
The bill paying is all on them. And as long as they are duty bound and morally bound and responsibility bound (and they are) they will be ok. It's all on them and how well they have secured their money and plans to continue doing well. It's all on them.
