On Finding Our Wings

God is not a sadistic child. You are not a June bug. And the Law is not a string tied to your leg with which God controls you.

God did not bind us to himself with the commandments. In fact, under the Old Covenant, we attempted to bind ourselves to God through our performance. God always had a better way! He bound himself to us by the cross, making his performance, not ours, the only contingency for righteousness and life.

Where the law can never hold us, the love of God will keep us.

"Christ has set us free to live a free life. So take your stand! Never again let anyone put a harness of slavery on you." Galations 5:1
