A Thought from Papa's Heart

 
Lean in closely. Put your ear right up to His heart. He has something wonderful to say to His children ...

“A flesh commitment to law-keeping can modify your behavior for a time, but it cannot transform your life (Pure Grace)

The Law has no transformational power built into it. That was not its intent. The law was given to prove humanity’s helplessness to achieve right-standing (righteousness) with God. Christ’s perfection and atoning sacrifice fulfilled all that the Father required to reconcile the believer to Himself. Tirelessly managing ones’ behavior doesn’t transform the believer’s life, love does!
