Heb 10:9 then he
added, "Behold, I have come to do your will." He does away with the
first in order to establish the second.
Heb 10:10 And by that
will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ
once for all.
Arthur Pink said; “The great mistake made by most of the
Lord’s people is in hoping to discover in themselves that which is to be found
in Christ alone.”
To live by grace is to live solely by the merit of Jesus
Christ. To live by grace is to base my entire relationship with God, including
my acceptance and standing with Him, on my union with Christ. It is to
recognize that in myself I bring nothing of worth to my relationship with God,
because even my righteous acts are like filthy rags in His sight (Isaiah 64:6).
Even my best works are stained with mixed motives and imperfect performance. I
never truly love God with all my heart, and I never truly love my neighbor with
the degree or consistency with which I love myself.
