I'm always wondering why people put conditions on God's work.

Like, you must do X, Y and Z or God can't do his will. Or, If you don't do this, God won't do that.

Fortunately, God isn't quid pro quo, he doesn't give only when we give, he doesn't expect something from us before he will do something for us. It rains on the justified and the unjustified.

Although your outline is very nicely done, it fails to allow for the fact that our God isn't like other gods; he doesn't bless only those who follow a formula. He especially blesses those who love him and love their neighbors the way they love themselves, but he doesn't withhold blessings from those who don't follow a formula.

Formulaic faith is a human invention, not a commandment of God.
