Grace is a subject when in discussion most of us are afraid of it. I mean we don't understand it in it's fullness. What is meant by that? If we start a conversation on grace your mind will go immediately to; "oh that means I can live anyway I want to and get away with it."
Grace is one of the most understood of positions of the believer. First why would a God fearing bible believing individual want to live out of fellowship with their Father. That makes no since, but at the same time our law keepers, well at least our advocates of law keeping, do the same thing. Their law keeping or trying to please God by being holy puts them in the same position. Have you ever been around those that have a form of law keeping, they are the meanest people on earth. The ironic thing about law keeping is those that try to do it, already have Christ in them if their born again.
So now you may understand mind renewal, the soul-mind can live anyway it wants, by grace or by law. I like use Pauline verbage and say! You can live the law life or you can live Christ, it's your choice. You are not going to be forced to live like a human being, you can live like a religious whatever if you choose to.
Many cannot live pure grace because of their mind. It may be the way they were raised, in a home where everything in life is bad for you and the devil is waiting if you get out of line. That makes living grace hard to do, it takes time for mind renewal to undo some things people are taught. But thank God He knows and will teach those that want to understand grace. Well what if I do get out of line, I can say grace has attached to it way more correction than the law ever did. The law killed you, that's it just dead, but grace has correction to be able to grow and understand the things of God, you will know your Father in grace, you cannot know your Father in the law.
In grace the world is a schoolhouse, it is not a place of punishment, it just feels like it at times because we have not been taught the world is a schoolhouse. It brings forth son's trained and meat for the Father's use in the world, Galations 4:1-2
1 Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;
2 But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.
Forget heaven, get it now, heaven will be here soon enough, get out of your escapism mentality because you are not going anywhere.
