It’s an infinite distance
Between
God
and
Us
Leviticus 20:8
Keep my statutes, and observe them; I am the Lord; I sanctify you.
Matthew 7:24
Everyone then who hears these words of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on rock.
Words of Grace For Today
God gives commands.
People receive the commands and reinterpret them as the necessary things to be done to be acceptable to God.
God corrects the reinterpretations back to God’s Grace: God acts for us first, bridging the whole gap between divine and finite humans. Then we get to act as sanctified people … and we still sin.
How do we wish to live, always running from goodness, or in a house built on a rock, the rock of God’s Grace for us?
