Gasoline does not create fire, nor will it sustain it. It can only intensify it's glare for a moment. When that moment has passed, the fire will return to it's original shape and form. Fire can only be created by another entity giving of itself entirely. Thus the life and nature of a tree is completely sacrificed in order to create and sustain a fire. So also, a Christian cannot enter the Kingdom of God by his emotions, but through the suffering of Jesus Christ with and for us for the accomplishment of the glory of God, and our peace.
