There is a lot of confusion about the powers that are within us as to our relationship with the law and the experience we have as we view it intrinsically. Just to conclude that the law is an instrument to lead us to Christ is in some ways saying that the law is necessary as being equal with Christ to produce grace in us.However, failing to make a distinction between who the law is speaking to directly and who it is not speaking can lessen its authority and create a lot of self-defeating prophecies. If we have two equal powers in the law and grace, we have no reason to be assured Christ's resurrection power has been granted by imputation rather than a response to obeying the law.This is why it is improper to take the law out of its original context, which was to show the benefits of following God's commandments to the Israelites. Because the law is not the foe of believers as every time we sinned the law was the means we are gifted with its power to keep us from sin. The human experience is the gospel is not merely an agent of resistance, but the remedy for experiencing grace for sinners.According to the scriptures, the law is like a schoolmaster making slaves of its victims. This is because we are terrible interpreters of powers that reside of guilt, sin and the law. We are always under the impression our efforts to squelch guilt are in our response to the law.The individual details of salvation can be thought of as individual spirits of the mind that produce a certain effect. This is why there are two distinct groups of people when it comes to salvation. Those who embrace God's total sovereign power and those who cannot accept our total inability. It is not a balance between what God does and what we do, but who God is and who we are. Our problem is we do not really believe God can do whatever He pleases to produce righteousness in us. But when we do not confess God is free to do as He pleases, we embrace some kind of mysticism as the agent in dealing with the law. So who is God?We see that God allows us to not sin as the cause of our not sinning. And we see that God not only has the authority to declare all men guilty, but He also has the authority to withhold the ability to accomplish His purposes. We see that God not only decrees our gifts in this life, but He also decrees our unresisting His will from falling into sin. Now this is the real struggle in the process of being renewed in this life. This is not an easy task that is given to us.In acknowledging God must grace us with the ability to choose, we are clearing away all of the false powers within us that force us to trust in our own ability to advance. Now, the world is a dirty pool of self-fulfillment that is forcing itself on us to concede we must take this as a shared responsibility. This relationship that we have to the powers in our souls is a real communication resisting men's advances in threats, in persuasions, in pride, in unbelief to accept a contradiction. Once we do this, we are forced by abuse to be double-minded.
