**For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Be. Not do.** Known as the “mini-gospel,” this pretty much sums up our Christian belief system. Yet, because we are human, we complicate this message by reading too much into it.

It’s pretty simple: God has a plan for each and every one of us to spend eternity with Him. He sent His Son to be the mediator for our sins. The New Testament isn’t “plan B” because “plan A" didn’t work. We can’t earn our way to heaven. We can't tithe our way to heaven. We can't talk our way into heaven.  “Do”-ing will not get us there, only our “be”-lief in Christ.
