Moralism - let us work so that we might become.
Biblical ethics - we are in this relationship, so I want to love you.
Moralism - if I work hard enough, he will want to begin a relationship and will love me.
Don't let us fall here. Let us see the pride of moralism, legalism. We cannot earn it. We must receive as a child. We must come and ask. We must beg. We cannot earn it. We cannot earn it. God alone must give it to us.
Notice as well, both cause us to work. But both work for different reasons.
Why are you working today? For God's acceptance or because of it. Let us watch against this carefully and often.
