The grace we enjoy as those set free from the fear of condemnation opens new opportunities to us to be transformed in the most profound ways. The fear of condemnation drives a kind of slavish obedience to the rules. Obedience undertaken in the hope that we might be judged somehow acceptable.
Now that there is no condemnation for those in Christ’s Jesus, we no longer need be motivated by fear. There is a gracious space to reconsider what life is about and where fuller life is to be found.
This re-evaluation in the context of grace has opportunity to go all the way through to our motives and desires so that we not only desire new things, we desire them in new kinds of ways.
This transformation holds the hope of living the richest life to the full.
