Sticky Note:  Faithfulness comes from faith in Jesus' Faithfulness

Religion says: Obey and you'll be accepted; you're under obligation to obey

The Gospel says:  You ARE accepted because Jesus' obedience has met your obligation...now you're free and happy to obey.  You have the "A".

Faith Means (regularly) Leaving...
    ...everything "ultimate", because God is Ultimate

Faith Means (regularly) Surrendering Control...
    ...to God, because He is a better Control-er than us

Faithfulness Means Blessing...
    ...giving love, forgiveness, and blessing away as it has been given to us through Jesus
