Grace is being God absorbed

Tuesday June 19th, Galatians 2: 15 "We who are Jews by birth and not 'Gentile sinners' 16 know that a man is not justified by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by observing the law, because by observing the law no one will be justified. The natural tendency for humanity is to move away from grace and back into the law. It is a more comfortable state for us because we get the feeling we are in charge. It manifest itself in several ways, here are a few. We want to be saved by grace, but then we see others and we are not so sure about them. Or we want to be saved by grace and we know we are, because after all it is easy, after all we are not that bad as far as sinners go. Or we want to be saved by grace, but we are soooooo bad that there is no way God could do that and besides, if we didn’t have this bad thing we were sooo guilty feeling about then we would lose our identity. All are self-absorbed. Grace is being God absorbed.
