Most churches stay busy giving people rules and regulations to follow, but when we get saved, it is important to fall in love with Jesus. Many of the issues with which we struggle are the same ones He has already dealt with. We struggle because we focus too much on all the religious “do’s” and “don’ts” instead of focusing on Jesus. It is impossible to live Christian lives on our own; the Holy Spirit has a huge part in bringing us a life of grace. We cannot live sinless lives through self-discipline, and we are deluded if we think otherwise. The church is not a collection of perfect people, but rather a place where we admit we need Jesus. When we want to change for the better but cannot do so by ourselves, the Spirit of grace changes us from the inside out.
