One of the biggest challenges for believers is avoiding getting caught up in religion with all its rules. Trying to live by the law keeps us off balance, but walking according to the rhythm of grace gives us rest and keeps us from becoming exhausted. When we’re in relationship with Jesus, we must resist the temptation to fall back into performance and self-effort. God has told us we’re righteous and holy; staying in rhythm with grace when we make a mistake rescues us from trying to figure out how to deal with our behavior. Grace always reminds us of our righteousness because it’s in sync with the finished works of Jesus; the enemy wants to break that rhythm so that we’ll go back to living under the law. We must never underestimate God’s mercy and kindness. Unlike what religion tells us, God uses His goodness to persuade us to want to move from living under the law to living under grace.
