Christianity is not grace plus the law, it is grace versus the law.  If we keep faithing consistently, God's going to put His life in us and He's going to change us. But the change will be from inside out and God will see it before man sees it. The closer we get to God, the more we'll be aware of our distance from where we are and where God is. Faith in God does not produce self-righteousness, but faith in God guarantees His righteousness in us, imperceptibly or by giant leaps. Galatians 4. VF-0721. Copyright 1990
