you can do nothing

Here's the scenario: There is a hundred dollar bill on the sidewalk in front of you. All you have to do to have it is stoop down to pick it up. Do you pick it up, or do you walk on by?

Scenario redux: The woman of your dreams wants to marry you (you are a man in this scenario, obviously). All you have to do is ask her. Do you get down on one knee and propose, or do you act all shy and bashful and miss your chance?

Scenario tres: Let me make this more clear for you, hardheart. Something wonderful is waiting for you, and all you have to do is act. Do you take that step of faith, or do you remain foolish?

While the salvation parallel is here, I'm not addressing unbelievers. I'm addressing all you believers who, given the chance to receive blessings from God by acting in faith, decide it is better to listen to the cynicism and selfishness that liar has built in that cinderblock you call a ticker and choose to watch that Savior of yours get farther and farther ahead. Apparently the label "good and faithful" doesn't mean anything to you. Enjoy getting spit out, Luke.
