Throw away your resume. You don’t need it. In fact, it can’t help you. Many people think that religious activities like going to church, taking communion, and volunteering their service somehow make God more pleased with them. Without even realizing it, they’re working to achieve righteousness; they measure themselves and others via a religious resume. The gospel is much better news than that… it is simply to receive righteousness freely by God’s grace. The gospel compels us to set aside any claim or effort toward a righteousness of our own, and to trust only in the righteous life of Christ. It is Jesus’ perfect resume – not the resume of our own religious works – that saves us and keeps us saved. Isn’t that good news?
