It happens over and over again. So called Christians are not satisfied with the gift of God and a relationship with Him. They believe that you have to work at this and start to impose their own rules over the situation. Seemingly good, these rules almost always degenerate into judgments against one another and divide the body. How can that be good?
Paul reminds us that the real connection must be to God and that we should be focused on what He wants us to do. Why should we live our lives in fear of doing something wrong when we are already forgiven for our sins? Sure, we are going to sin, and God is going to forgive us. Why focus on that? That's such a bleak way to look at Christianity.
The legacy of a believer is not about the things that he didn't do but the things that he did. And when you are doing the things that God asks, you don't have time to do the things that you shouldn't anyway.
