"For if you are trying to make yourselves right with God by keeping the law, you have been cut off from Christ! You have fallen away from God's grace." Gal. 5:4
I read this verse yesterday and for me it served as a great reminder. I think a lot of times we can get caught up in "doing." We think we must do something in order for God to accept us. What a mistake that is. In our attempt to earn God's love, we are taking Christ from the cross and saying that that sacrifice didn't quite cut it. Instead we should live in the freedom that God's grace provides for us. The more grace we accept from God, the more grace we can extent to others.
