The Reformation unchained the Bible. The best way to honor that history is to read it. Open your Bible to Romans 3:21-26 today. It is the "Magna Carta" of the Christian faith. Read it slowly and thank God that you don't have to crawl to get to Him.
Jesus didn't just clean you; He traded places with you. He wore your dirty rags so you could wear His royal robe. You are accepted today not because of your behavior, but because of your new clothes.
Religion says "I obey, therefore I am accepted." The Gospel says "I am accepted, therefore I obey." The order matters. If you are working for salvation, you are a slave. If you are working from salvation, you are a son. Rest in the "Done."
