Grace, Grace...God's Grace

 If there is one thing more detrimental to the Christian's walk than legalism, I do not know what it is.  We need to walk and live and breathe and eat and drink in God's grace freely given to us in the Lord Jesus Christ.  Here is a quote from a delightful post by Tullian Tchividjian from is blog Liberate:

"But while I’m not surprised when I hear venomous rejoinders to grace (the flesh is always resistant to “It is finished”), I am saddened when the very pack of people that God has unconditionally saved and continues to sustain by his free grace are the very ones who push back most violently against it. Some professing Christians sound like ungrateful children who can’t stop biting the very hand that feeds them. It amazes me that you will hear great concern from inside the church about “too much grace” but rarely will you ever hear great concern from inside the church about “too many rules.” Why? Because we are by nature glory-hoarding, self-centered control freaks. That’s why."
