Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church

How naughty can you be? How naughty do you want to be? Our level of naughtiness is not the determining factor in our Salvation. Rather it is God’s will that determines it.

No matter what we do, God’s love overshadows it and we are forgiven and freely given, without doing anything to deserve it, eternal life. It is this love and forgiveness that we celebrate and rejoice. It is this love and forgiveness that causes us to change our outlook on life, to focus on the needs of others instead of our own desires. It is knowing that God willingly suffered death and rose again in order to grant this gift to us that changes us. So after experiencing this love, the question is “how are you going to react?” How naughty do you want to be?

“Love God with your whole heart and do as you will” – St. Augustine
