Good morning! How are we faithing? Obeying the laws in the Bible isn't a bad thing to do at all. Thinking you have earned favors from God because you obey is wrong and those things are thusly done with improper motivation. We are under grace so we don't have to earn a thing. When we get ahold of that truth we see that by HIS stripes and not ours we are healed. Then we end up doing and desiring to follow the rules in the Word. If I love God, would I want to cause harm for gain? Of course not. Would I want to get one over on my neighbor? Of course not. So if you are still scheming and conniving gain, you had best step back and take a gander at the grace you claim to have received.  Just like new asphalt on the highway that covers the old imperfections, Jesus blood has covered our past. Seek him in all you do and act out of love and compassion rather than the old ways that led us to Jesus to begin with.

Galatians 5:6-8

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but faith working through love. You were running well; who hindered you from obeying the truth? This persuasion did not come from Him who calls you.

NAS

Galatians 6:14-15
For neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.
NAS

Ezekiel 11:19-20
"And I shall give them one heart, and shall put a new spirit within them. And I shall take the heart of stone out of their flesh and give them a heart of flesh, that they may walk in My statutes and keep My ordinances, and do them. Then they will be My people, and I shall be their God.
NAS
