Summary
A relationship with Jesus Christ is more than just working the mechanics of Christianity. To know Jesus is to know the grace of God, personally. We must not become so principle-minded that we no longer know the one who gave us the principles. It is essential for us as Christians not to get hung up on doing the right things for the sake of performing, but to discover the essence of Jesus, who is love. What was true under the law may no longer be true under grace. The truth is that we need Jesus and have always needed Him; we cannot succeed in anything without Him. We remain humble and avoid pride and self- righteousness by always remembering that we are nothing without Him.
