If the work of Christ is finished at the Cross, why are we still repenting from dead works?
If the work of Christ is finished at the Cross, why are we still trying to earn God's approval?
If the work of Christ is finished at the Cross, why are we still trying to earn our blessings from God?

Is the work of Christ at the Cross finished or is it not?

I am disgusted with Churches that preach that to earn God's blessings, we must give to Him. Isn't that trying to bribe God?

I am disgusted with Churches that preach that if you don't give to God, you will not be blessed. Didn't the Scriptures say that Jesus took all of our sins and penalties upon Himself? Why is God still punishing us for not giving financially? Something must be wrong here.

I am disgusted with Churches that encourage members to pray, fast, tithe, attend meetings so many days in a week in order to be promoted to a leadership position. Didn't the Scriptures mentioned the phrase "It is finished!"

Are you serving God to be promoted to be a leader or are you serving God because you are an approved worker of God?
