While on a superficial level we may be able to say: I did not do this evil, etc., on a different level this is never a justification because our motivations are always suspect if nothing else. We can never rest on having done the right thing or having avoided some evil. Our heart is a very stupid, adulterous, murderous pit, which surprises us at all kind of turns with the most horrid thoughts and affections. "Lord have mercy", is the enduring begging until the end. And we love him because he can love such as we are.Brigittehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10259491144770243688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4164910523346972642.post-4087665973305933512011-09-13T10:59:43.158-06:002011-09-13T10:59:43.158-06:00Brigitte,

The law is so tempting and it pulls us in like a devious siren, offering hope but leading us to destruction. The law, indeed, always accuses. When we think that the law is complementing us, we deceive ourselves. The beauty of this, however, is that when we recognize this, we realize not only how completely we need a savior, but how great God's grace truly is. He doesn't help us fulfill the law; he does it for us!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
