When we talk about simple grace (see "A Simple Kind of Life"), a natural question develops – how , then, are we supposed to live – and what about all of the behaviors that Paul talks about over and over again? Don’t they matter? Great question – of course behaviors matter, theological stances matter – they just aren’t the point. Jesus and his work is, the rest is what we learn and grow in for the rest of the time we spend on earth. We change as people to act more and more like Jesus not because it’s a rule, but because our wants and desires are more like Jesus’s when we are close to Jesus. Rules don’t change hearts, laws don’t make obedient citizens. But there are a lot of guidelines even here from Paul about what life COULD look like with a changed heart that craves the good life. So today, as we enter into chapter 3, this is “The Other Side of the Coin.”
