Why We Can’t Earn God’s Love

Every Knee Shall Bow (Your Catholic Evangelization Podcast)

Dave “The Meateater” VanVickle and I talk about the trap of thinking we need to earn God’s love. This idea is what leads us to that “holier-than-thou” attitude where we congratulate ourselves for not sinning, and then look down on those who are struggling with sin. The reality is that God is a loving father who will give us what we need to serve and love him (aka grace). It’s not through our own efforts that we earn God’s love, it is a free gift that we can respond to … or not. Support Every Knee Shall Bow (Your Catholic Evangelization Podcast)
