What am I “NOT” asked to do for salvation ???

Sawadee Khrap

Unlike a Religion requiring things I must do  – ACIM states:

You are merely asked to apply the ideas as you are directed to do. You are not asked to judge them at all. You are asked only to use them.   Preface

That the miracle may have effects on your brothers that you may not recognize is not your concern. The miracle will always bless you.  Miracles you are not asked to perform have not lost their valueChapter 1 – III. Atonement and Miracles

You are not asked to let it go for yourself alone. Christ asks it of you for Himself. He would bring peace to everyone, and how can He do this except through you?    Chapter 19 – IV. The Obstacles to Peace

You are not asked to be crucified, which was part of my own teaching contribution. You are merely asked to follow my example in the face of much less extreme temptations to misperceive, and not to accept them as false justifications for anger.   Chapter 6 – I. The Message of the Crucifixion

You are not asked to make insane decisions, although you can think you are. It must, however, be insane to believe that it is up to you to decide what God’s creations are.   Chapter 6 – V. The Lessons of the Holy Spirit

you are not asked to dispel your hallucinations alone.  You are merely asked to evaluate them in terms of their results to you.  If you do not want them on the basis of loss of peace, they will be removed from your mind for you    Chapter 8: The Journey Back – I. The Direction of the Curriculum

You are not asked to do mighty tasks yourself. You are merely asked to do the little He suggests you do, trusting Him only to the small extent of believing that, if He asks it, you can do it.    Chapter 14 – VII. Sharing Perception with the Holy Spirit 

There is one thing that you have never done; you have not utterly forgotten the body.  It has perhaps faded at times from your sight, but it has not yet completely disappeared.  You are not asked to let this happen for more than an instant, yet it is in this instant that the miracle of Atonement happens. 4 Afterwards you will see the body again, but never quite the same    Chapter 18 – VII. I Need Do Nothing

You are not asked to let it go for yourself alone.  Christ asks it of you for Himself.  He would bring peace to everyone, and how can He do this except through you?    Chapter 19 – IV. The Obstacles to Peace

You are not asked to make or do what lies beyond your understanding. All you are asked to do is let it in; only to stop your interference with what will happen of itself; simply to recognize again the presence of what you thought you gave.   Chapter 21 – II. The Responsibility for Sight

You are not asked to fight against your wish to murder.  But you are asked to realize the form it takes conceals the same intent.    Chapter 23 – IV. Above the Battleground      

Could He, in justice and in love, believe in your confusion you have much to give?  You are not asked to trust Him far. No more than what you see He offers you, and what you recognize you could not give yourself.    Chapter 25 – VIII. Justice Returned to Love      

You are not asked to offer pardon where attack is due, and would be justified. For that would mean that you forgive a sin by overlooking what is really there.  This is not pardon.  For it would assume that, by responding in a way which is not justified, your pardon will become the answer to attack that has been made.  And thus is pardon inappropriate, by being granted where it is not due.   Chapter 30 – VI. The Justification for Forgiveness     

You are not asked to judge them at all.  You are asked only to use them.  It is their use that will give them meaning to you, and will show you that they are true.    Workbook Part I – Introduction

You are not asked for total dedication all the time as yet.  But you are asked to practice now in order to attain the sense of peace such unified commitment will bestow, if only intermittently.  It is experiencing this that makes it sure that you will give your total willingness to following the way the course sets forth.    Workbook Introduction to Lessons 181–200

He holds your past and present. 2 They are one to Him, and so they should be one to you.  Yet in this world, the temporal progression still seems real.  And so you are not asked to understand the lack of sequence really found in time    Workbook Lesson 194

I am not asked to take salvation on the basis of an unsupported faith.  For God has promised He will hear my call, and answer me Himself.  Let me but learn from my experience that this is true   Workbook Lesson 327

I am not asked to make a sacrifice To find the mercy and the peace of God. The end of suffering can not be loss.  The gift of everything can be but gain.  You only give.  You never take away     Workbook Lesson 343

And what I “AM” asked to do  I do not have to do alone but strengthened with the power of God and the Holy Spirit.  I actually “NEED DO NOTHING” but I do need to STOP INTERFERING and JUDGING.
