Because there's an important distinction made in the Bible about receiving Jesus versus gladly receiving Jesus or receiving with joy. The Bible says in Acts 2, verse 41, Then they that gladly received his word. Is gladly receiving the same as receiving? No. There's an extra word added for a reason. Because when it said receive Jesus in John 1, it didn't mention anything about going to church afterwards or getting baptized or cleaning up your life. Because you can receive Jesus and make no changes. But when it says they gladly receive his word, what happens? They're baptized. So someone who's actually very appreciative of their salvation, yeah, there's going to be works to show that they're very thankful. Kind of like, think of the 10 lepers. One came back to give Jesus thanks. But you saw in the other nine that they were clean. I mean, they're no longer lepers. Well, I don't believe that they're healed of their leprosy because they didn't go back to thank Jesus. I mean, you could look at them and they don't have leprosy. You can receive the word of Jesus or receive Jesus without being that thankful, without being that appreciative.
