Revelation (understanding) must always proceeds faith and experience. In other words, the Lord must first reveal the Truth from His Word to you, then you must put your faith in the faithfulness of His Promise revealed and then you will experience it in your life.
I (the carnal man) need not do anything for God. This is deliverance from the Law. Deliverance from the Law is, God no longer requires it of me, but does it for me! Grace = God does for me: Law = I do something for God. Much "religion" has us doing this and that to try to please God in some way. Pray more, study more, give more, work harder, as if by our works and human efforts we would please God. Won't work! God sees the blood of Jesus and is pleased with the sacrifice. Jesus said it is FINISHED! Now we are to "enjoy" the rest (Sabbath) of God. Religion says "work" and God says "Rest", now which will you choose?
Be blessed,
Billy and Jan
