Within American evangelicalism there is a tendency for Christians to view their faith through a lens of their own performance rather than to view their faith through a lens of the gospel. We can look at our church attendance, Bible-reading, prayer life, or personal piety as a barometer for our closeness with God.

But this is categorically anti-gospel. To live a performance-driven life is to have "conduct that is not in step with the truth of the gospel" (Gal 2:14). It is to think that we began our walk by faith in the work of Jesus but now are being "perfected by the flesh" (Gal 3:1-3). What we must strive for instead is a Gospel-driven life.
