Faith is not just doing: It's being and relationship.

No action is required on our part as Christians in order to be forgiven for our wrongdoings and so we will live eternally in heaven. All we need to really do is believe.

Be with the Lord. 

Seek him first and above all. 

Doing is less important than relationship. Our faith should be full of acts of a changed life and a changed person who follows the Lord and his Word. However, we should have the change in behavior because we want to draw closer to God--not because we think we have to. We don't have to. We are already forgiven. Our actions do not lead to more forgiveness. It leads to a closer relationship. 

However, another, more simple way of saying all of this is: 

If you actively and intentionally seek a closer relationship with the Lord, you will naturally do what brings you closer to Him.

What are these doing things I refer to? 

A Reading the Bible

B Prayer

C Bible Study

D Journaling Notebook

E Worship

F Etc.

Is this Bible study a must? No. But, it will bring you closer to the Lord and bring you to have a deeper relationship.
