Haha. Three words explain it all. IT IS FINISHED. Lack of this revelation leaves churches and Christians very weak. When we go at anything in our human power, and not leaning on his finished work and provision for us to overcome, God says, "Ok, handle it in your weak human power and see how far that gets you.... while you insult my work on the cross."
Galatians 2:21 KJV I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
Law represents any human effort accomplished without reliance and faith in God's provision.
