According to your seemingly humble statement, your only goal in life is to know, love and serve your Lord, yet you apparently don't <font class="big">know</font> what He has said about how He views your righteousness in His sight: either your utter lack of it apart from faith in Christ, or [color:blue]the righteousness of Christ Himself credited to you</font color=blue> through faith in Christ?<br><br>That word "comfort" should be appropriated in its Scriptural sense rather than its shallow modern sense; it is no trifle to be lightly dismissed, but absolutely essential for all who must stand before the Thrice-Holy Jehovah. In that day, Scott, is your comfort going to be in what your zeal has accomplished?<br><br>

In Christ,
Paul S
