John stated in 1 John 1:8 that if we say we have no sin we lie. The issue is not a lifestyle of sinful behavior, that’s problematic in of itself. The issue is understanding and breaking free from the law which can only be accomplished when we understand the message of the cross.
Once we understand or grasp what the cross means, apply it to our life, that’s when grace comes into play. We pride ourselves in church, doing “churchy” things, but we fail to understand grace by the cross. Because the cross is the means by which we are set free. Religion will never accommodate that, it can’t.
It’s like icing a cake, every time turn it you find that you missed a spot. That’s works. Grace covers us completely.
[Christopher Gregory]
Galatians 5:1 ... Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
Galatians 3:17-18 ... And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect. For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.
Romans 8:2 ... For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. ❤
