That verse is NOT speaking about seeking him daily for salvation. It means to seek Him daily, to talk to Him, to ask Him for strength, to ask for forgiveness, etc.. Get off the ridiculous notion that you need daily salvation. Do you go to church, get dipped in water and get saved daily? NO... Salvation is given for a LIFETIME. It's not given daily. Otherwise Christ would have to die on the cross daily, and that obviously can't happen, now can it?

Let's see, what good works have I done lately? I put money outside for someone to find, I held open a door at the bank for a wheelchair person, and I left a dollar at the bus stop. I took out my neighbor's trash. I gave up my seat on the bus to an older person with groceries. Will any of these nice things I did get me into heaven? Nope, nope, and nope.. LOL

So someday when I see Jesus and say, "but Lord, I did this, this, that, this and this", Jesus will look at me and say, "while good works were nice to do for others, they were NOT necessary to get into heaven". :) Those who boast of their works, will NOT impress Jesus.

Your assumption is all wrong... what you get after doing a good work is a feeling of momentry heaven walking in the light..

Nope, that feeling would be the feeling of knowing that we did something nice for someone else, as we are told in the commandment to "love thy neighbor". :) We aren't supposed to do works merely to get a taste of heaven each time. Your belief system is seriously out of whack. :/

Wow - I thought the feeling was like Luke 17:10, not like Luke 18:11. In fact, I'm certain of it.
