In her autobiography, ‘My Life’, former Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir tells the story of her devout Jewish grandfather who lived in Russia. He was required to serve in the Russian army for 16 yrs.
During that time he tried to keep every Jewish law &
custom even though it meant that he faced intense persecution - even being
forced to kneel on a stone floor for hours.
When he was released, he feared that he may have somehow
broken the Law & for the rest of his life he slept on a stone floor using a
stone for his pillow to try to make up for any sin he may have accidentally
committed.
It is tragic that he went to such lengths to pay for his sin
when Jesus has provided the atonement.

“To attempt to pay
for salvation with church membership, prayers, or good deeds is an insult to
Christ, who paid the full price - and is a rejection of the gift of God's
grace.” - Dave Hunt.
Mark 16:16 (NLT): “Anyone who believes and is baptized will
be saved. But anyone who refuses to believe will be condemned.”
