Slave, Mercenary and Son

Charity is the virtue whereby I love God above all things. How can I live this Christian life without loving God? You cannot. It may look like the Christian life, but it's just a knock off. God doesn't want slaves who fear punishment. God doesn't want mercenaries trying to earn their keep. God wants sons and daughters in His Son.
