Religion teaches that we are blessed by changing how we act. Grace teaches that the way we act changes because we are blessed. Religion says to become a good person. Grace says you already are a good person. Religion insists. Grace inspires. Religion points to duty. Grace produces desire. Religion says to try harder. Grace says to trust Him. Religion says, "Be like us." Grace says, "You are like Me." Religion says to work. Grace says to rest.
Two choices, and they don't mix. Don't suffocate yourself under the tyranny of religion. Embrace a life of freedom. That is the grace walk experience.
