Reasons why we struggle to accept grace from God part 2

Because the law that Jesus delivered us from is written in our bibles (Gal4:5)! And because, as we have already established in part 1, we gravitate to a system of works and put ourselves back under what Jesus removed us out from under! It makes sense to our natural mind and so we say 'yes God is holy and I'm not so i must do these things so that i can be holy and then i can fellowship with God and get my prayers answered' You reach for your copy of the 10 commandments and off you go but you have made a fatal mistake because although the law is holy, righteous and good (Rom7:12) it has no power to make you holy, righteous and good! Only Jesus can do that so we must put the law into the context of what Christ accomplished on the cross, he delivered us from it, we are no longer under it's demands.
