Summary

When we study the “skeleton structure” of grace, we must understand the change of requirement from the Law of Moses to the grace of God. If we miss this point, we find ourselves going back and trying to meet the requirements of the law. God is not angry with us anymore; the same God who rained down fire in the Old Testament no longer does that. We must now go beyond the old covenant mindset, and not allow religion to trap us in the same place, trying to keep requirements that have changed. Even the way we obey has changed, from obedience to the law to obedience to the faith of Christ. As Jesus’ people, when we read the Bible, we must be constantly vigilant of this. Under grace, the focus is no longer on our efforts to perform, but rather on the sufficiency of Jesus which allows us to do what we could not do before.

Summary

There is a definite connection between the Holy Spirit and the grace of God, and we must understand the Spirit’s work and His purpose on the earth. We have a tendency to get very absorbed in our own abilities and what we can do for ourselves. We can proverbially pat ourselves on the back and say, “We did that, we made this happen.” However, when we take an honest look at our lives, we must admit that there are some things that happen that defy all natural laws, things for which we cannot take credit. This is the Holy Spirit at work. Although He is a spirit, He is not “spooky” in the way we think of ghosts. He is one part of the triune God, and He is the one who empowers Christians to live Christian lives.
