The demands placed on our lives are many. Not only do we have the expectations of our culture, but we also have the impossible claim of God's Law: "You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect (Matthew 5:48)." Because of these demands, there's a nagging voice that reminds us that we've failed, we haven't done enough, and we deserve judgment. We try to silence that voice by justifying our actions or shaming others. But the voice keeps nagging. The only way for the voice to be silenced is when the Law is fulfilled, and God is pleased with us. How is that possible? Jesus fulfilled the Law for us.
