I didn't know mere mortals can "hurt" God.
The sinful acts of man do break God's heart.
Welp, I've definitely disappointed God quite a bit over the past year.
None of us can possibly live up to God's standards for us, which is why none of us can earn salvation by works. It's only because of penal substitution- because Christ died for us on the cross- that those who put their faith in Him can go to Heaven.
While my church does not teach PSA, I totally agree with the thrust of your post here. Too many people in the world today think that their acts will carry them and that if they are just generally nice people then they are assured a ticket into Heaven. We are saved by the sacrifice of the Son of God, and not by our own deeds.
To be honest, while I don't really consider myself a Christian (so maybe I should not be commenting but oh well), I am always very surprised by this kind of take.
It always feels "off" to me that your actions in this world don't really matter and that you will be saved exclusively by your faith in God.
Too many unambiguously bad actions have been performed in the name of God for me to truly believe in something like that. I definitely think your actions should also weigh on whether you get a ticket ot heaven or not? (Faith should obviously be a pre-requisite, but is should not be the only requisite). You should indeed represent your faith by doing good deeds.
And the counter argument to this, while I get where it is coming from, always feels like a "No true Scotman" type fallacy at worst; or like "putting the cart before the horse" in some way at best.
