God Does All the Work in Us!!!!

We do works because we are born-again and love to please God,

not for salvation.

If someone doesn't want to become holy and grow emotionally and spiritually mature, I have to question if they are born-again.

Sloppy grace is no grace at all. Grace empowers us to live as Christ lived. We do not work for our salvation and Christ puts the works in our hearts, we don't even have to work that up, we only have to submit to Him.

Romans 6:14-16 "14 For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace. 15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law, but under grace? Certainly not! 16 Do you not know that when you offer yourselves as obedient slaves, you are slaves to the one you obey, whether you are slaves to sin leading to death, or to obedience leading to righteousness?…"

When we offer ourselves as obedient slaves then God is the One Who begins the work in us, He provides the circumstances and places a compulsion in our hearts. All the work is His, all we have to do is want Him to do it.
