We can get so focused on doing things for God that we lose all sense of intimacy with Him. As a Christian moves from a legalistic, performance-based lifestyle into the grace walk, he will find an increasing interest in developing intimacy with Christ.
A performance-based Christian often studies the Bible to gain information. A grace-based Christian studies seeking revelation. God wants us to desire Him. We are Christ’s bride, not His hostage.
