Nothing is required. You are obligated to nothing. You are free.
Part 4
From Law to desire
When we move from head (law) to heart (desire), desire becomes “written on our hearts”.
It’s only here that real intimacy can occur.
Here is where “he will be our God and we will be his people. “
This is true whether it is intimacy with God or with another person.
This dynamic is the dynamic of grace. Nothing is required. You are obligated to nothing. You are free.
In grace we discover or re-discover desire.
“Let us draw near to God with a glad and sincere heart”
Why don’t we do it?
Why don’t we enter into the new covenant of grace? I mean real grace that says everything is permissible?
1. We don't trust ourselves. We don’t enter into this new covenant, we don’t set ourselves and our perceived demons free because we don’t trust ourselves. We don’t really believe that behind all the selfish, hedonistic desires, are good desires waiting to be lived out through us.
2. We don’t trust God. We don’t really think that grace is grace. We still believe some law is necessary to mix in, or chaos will ensue.
