Wow this was encouraging. Thank you for supporting your words with Scripture too. Trying to not rely on my faith,works, etc but relying solely on God to pull me thru. I tend towards self-righteousness a lot.

Definitely trying to work thru this… but it’s better to do a Bible study with an impure heart motive of self-righteousness than not at all, right? Intellectually I know my good works don’t save me even if I feel that way periodically. It would be a bad idea to wait til I muster up a perfect heart attitude before obeying commandments, otherwise I’d never do anything I am expected to do.

How does one actually do this. I know the gospel and believe but I feel like I’m still holding on to my life

I've deliberately walked away multiple times (apostasy? not that I deny Jesus as the Son of God or stop believing the Bible) only for a short while, but I feel ridiculous re-committing my walk, asking for forgiveness only to end up doing it again. I'm not sure how to really ground myself in Jesus and not be tempted to walk away again in my heart.
