Quotable

"The law is based on principles and standards to live up to, but the life of the Spirit is based on a promise.  Striving characterizes the law whereas rest characterizes grace.   The law places responsibility on me to do, but grace is given by the initiative of God and invites me to be.   Trying to keep the law leads to bondage, forcing me to figure things out on my own and cower behind a mask when I can't get it right.   But the grace of God brings freedom and power to do as He wills.   Under the law, I struggle in vain attempts to control my behavior.   Under grace, my life is an easy expression of the Spirit.   The law says obey.   Grace says believe and obedience will follow."
