Most of what we know as Christianity is just another form of moralism and humanistic efforts to try to get to the favor and goodness of God. Jesus Christ however is the end of human effort. - Quote by Benjamin Dunn
Galatians 3:2-5 Let me ask you this one question: Did you receive the Holy Spirit by obeying the law of Moses? Of course not! You received the Spirit because you believed the message you heard about Christ. How foolish can you be? After starting your Christian lives in the Spirit, why are you now trying to become perfect by your Own human effort?
