Under the Law it was do, do, do. Under grace it is God saying "I will, I will, I will". It's an entirely new program, better in every way.
And contrary to popular belief resting in Christ is not inactivity, but Christ's activity.
Talk about "re-packaging," or, rather "adding to"...........please show scripture for this statement.
There is confusion, maybe purposeful, by legalists and judaizers as to what is written on our hearts when we are born again.
Their claim is that it is the 10 commandments that are written on our hearts at conversion.
But 2 Corinthians 3 states that the letter is unto death. It is the Spirit that is life.
Would a born again Christian agree that Condemnation and Death is written on their new hearts??? No. No. No.
Life is written on the hearts of born again Christians. It is the fruit of the Spirit that is written on the hearts of born again Christians, namely Love. Love that comes from Christ and not self.
This is important because its part of our Rest in Christ. It is part of the gift we are given by Grace through Faith.
If you are working at the 10 commandments and trying to cause Christians to work at it you don't have faith in the gift that the Lord Jesus Christ has given you. You would rather rely on your own understanding and your own strength. Inexplicably causing the law to be a bunch of carnal commandments that you can work at instead of a spiritual law that you have to be led towards by faith in Christ.
If you have built a construct in your mind that has caused you to think you must work at the law that is a stronghold that is taken down in Christ. Having started in the spirit are you perfected by the flesh??? Nope.
